Martins Abeshi, Comptroller-General of Immigration Immigration officials have arrested 17 Nigerians attempting to cross the border into Niger on their way to Libya with no valid papers, a senior Nigerian immigration official told AFP on Tuesday. Nigerian Immigration officers intercepted the 17 in two batches at a border crossing with Niger, said the comptroller of immigration for Katsina state, Ahmed Alhaji Alfa. “Our investigation revealed that their mission was to cross border en route to Agadez in Niger Republic and then to Libya,” he added. “We believe their final destination was Europe through the dangerous voyage across the (Mediterranean) sea”.
