Adedeji explained that the immigrants were repatriated because they did not have valid documents, adding that their presence constituted a security threat to the residents of the state.

“They did not have legal valid documents to back their staying here, hence the need for us to send them back to their country,’’ she said.

The comptroller said the command would continue to adopt proactive security measures to ensure the safety of all residents of the state.

She stated that more Immigration personnel have been deployed to Babana border post to prevent illegal immigrants from coming into the country from the Republic of Benin.
