In a bid to curb social vices, Ogun State authorities have arrested 45 illegal immigrants from Benin Republic, Chad, Sudan, and other African countries in Sabo community.
The arrests were facilitated by the Conflict Resolution Committee, following complaints from local Hausa residents about the presence of unfamiliar individuals in the area. Hadi Sani, Secretary of the committee and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Inter-Ethnic Affairs, said the immigrants were handed over to the state immigration office for further investigation.
Sani added that some of the detainees were legal residents or war-displaced individuals, emphasizing the importance of community vigilance in reporting strangers to security officers.
The committee, he noted, also works to resolve farmer-herder conflicts and prevent social unrest, calling for peaceful dialogue and cooperation between different community groups to boost food security and harmony in the state.
