Kaduna: NIS nabs 516 foreigners in possession of PVCs

In Zaria LGA, Kaduna state, the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) detained 516 non-Nigerians who were in possession of permanent voter cards (PVCs).

In a video broadcast by AIT on Friday, Liman Kila, the chief of the Kaduna NIS, revealed to reporters that the illegal immigrants were from the Niger Republic, Togo, Senegal, Cameroon, and Chad.

Kila stated that the service discovered 1,000 PVCs on detained illegal immigrants during mop-up operations in the Kaduna zone last year.

He said, “If you are not a Nigerian and you have a permanent voter card (PVC), you have committed an offence and have to be arrested and eased out.

“We have done that in the past, and those of them that are practically here, they are being profiled, and when they are profiled, we are going to find out whether some of them are still in possession of PVCs because they are from a different zone.

“The last zone was the Kaduna zone. We retrieved more than 1000 PVCs. Now as they are being profiled, officers are still checking to find out if they are in possession of this card.

“Not only PVCs, but some of them are also in possession of local government indigene forms, which we will retrieve.

“The greater number are from Niger, carrying like 65%, then we have nationals from Togo, Senegal, Cameroon, and Chad.

“And by his grace, we are moving to the other zone, which is Kafanchan zone, all to make sure that non-Nigerians do not participate in the electoral process.”
