165 illegal immigrants from Burkina Faso, Mali, Ivory Coast, Benin Republic, and Niger Republic have been arrested by the Kebbi State Police Command after they were discovered crammed into a three-bedroom apartment in the Birnin Kebbi neighborhood of Kuwait.
The arrests followed a tip-off that led detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to the apartment, uncovering what police described as a disturbing case of illegal migration and suspected financial crimes.
CSP Nafiu Abubakar, the command’s Public Relations Officer, revealed that the suspects comprised 35 nationals from Burkina Faso, 110 from Ivory Coast, 11 from Benin Republic, five from Niger Republic, and four from Mali.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that they were living in Nigeria without valid documentation and were allegedly involved in the Qnet Ponzi scheme,” CSP Abubakar stated.
The police spokesperson added that the suspects have been transferred to the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kebbi State Command, for further investigation and processing.
