Authority of the Nigerian
Immigration Services said it has arrested some foreigners posing as Nigerians
at registration units and recovered Permanent Voters’ Card (PVC) from them.
The Controller of Immigration, Lagos
State Command, Mrs. Justina Ahmedu said such suspects would be repatriated
immediately.
According to her, foreigners of the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS) had no business in the election even though
they reside in the country.
She disclosed that some Ghanaians
had been arrested for such offence and PVC recovered from them
She added that some immigration
officers went undercover, moving from different registration centres, where
they nabbed these foreigners.
She vowed: “This raid will continue!
Our officers will continue going to registrations centres to keep eyes on
foreigners who want to collect the PVC. This election is strictly for Nigerians.
If we come across them, we will be left with no other option than to arrest and
repatriate them. Already, we have some Ghanaians in our custody that will be
repatriated immediately!”
