Niger Republic jailbreak: Immigrations steps up border patrol in Niger

The Niger State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has beefed up its presence and intensified its patrols across border communities to curb the influx of hardened terrorists into the state.

A statement signed by the command’s head of the Media and Public Relations Unit, Mukhtar Abubakar, in Minna, said that the step was taken to nip in the bud any unforeseen security breaches.

He said the move was a result of a memo that directed state and zonal commands of the service to intensify and increase their patrol of border towns to curtail the influx of some notorious terrorists that escaped from prison due to a jailbreak in the Niger Republic.

Abubakar explained: “The memo from the Controller General of the Service, Kemi Nana Nandap, directed all immigration formations within border communities in their respective states and zonal commands to be on the alert to curtail the movement of unusual faces within the border areas.”

Abubakar further asserted that the command has already placed men on border patrol and on red alert to assist in intensifying their patrols along the border towns across the state to checkmate suspicious movement.

According to him: “We are not taking any chances. We are already on top of the situation to curtail and checkmate any unusual movement in our border communities in the state.

“Our border patrol squads are already on top of the situation with the aim of checking the influx of suspicious movement of any character within our border towns and communities.”

He also urged the general public to assist the command with useful and credible information on the strange faces in their midst to assist the command in taking proactive action.
