Ado-Odo/Ota LG Synergizes With Nigeria Immigration Service To Checkmate Influx Of Illegal Migrants From Ogun Border



Ado- Odo/ Local Government has concluded plans to partner with Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) towards checkmating the influx of illegal migrants from Benin Republic and other neighbouring countries in West Africa, among other activities posing security threat to the border area in Ogun State 

The Council Chairman, Alhaji Lawal Wasiu made this known when he received the Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Ogun State Command, Aliyu Muhammed Akadiri, at the Council Secretariat, Ota. 

He reiterated his readiness to collaborate with the agency towards curbing insecurity and influx of illegal migrants in the Council area.

Lawal said it was imperative to synergise with the security agents to secure lives and property, commending the consultative approach adopted by the NIS Boss for reaching out to government at the local level. 

He assured NIS of Council's readiness to support the command in achieving its set goal.

Responding, Akadiri commended the Local Government efforts at promoting peace and tranquility in the area, saying council plays critical role in ensuring security and promoting peaceful co-existence among the people at the grassroots.

According to him, "the Nigeria Immigration Service is committed at supporting initiatives aimed at tackling illegal migration, human trafficking, and other immigration related issues within the Council area. As we all know that Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government is crucial to the Command as it is not too far from neighboring country".

The Comptroller, who called the attention of the Council Chairman to the vandalization of the Command's Office in Agbara by some miscreants, described the act as unacceptable, affirming that they would continue to checkmate the rampaging miscreants 

He requested for Council's cooperation in curbing the incessant influx among other criminalities being perpetrated by some unscrupulous element in the axis.
