The federal government said security operatives have arrested 10 persons on INTERPOL’s watch list while entering Nigeria.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said this in Abuja on Tuesday when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inaugurated the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Technology Innovation Complex.
“In the last couple of days, there were 10 people who were on the INTERPOL and immigration wanted list who were apprehended in one week,” the minister said as quoted by TheCable.
“Before now, those people would have entered Nigeria, causing terror. But we have now told them that under the new leadership, Nigeria is a no-go area for any criminal element.”
The data complex comprising the command and control centre (regular migration), NIS Data centre, ECOWAS biometric card production centre, interior Data Centre, and a 0.5KW solar power plant were among the facilities unveiled by the president.
