As part of efforts to check entry into the country by foreigners without right papers, the authorities in Ekondo-Titi Subdivision, Ndian Division of the South West Region, recently arrested and deported 15 illegal immigrants. The Divisional Officer, DO, for Ekondo-Titi Sub-division, Edwin Nkenya Ngwana, disclosed this at a recent coordination meeting with service heads and traditional rulers. He said the immigrants from Nigeria, Guinea Conakry, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire, were arrested on various beaches as they landed in the country. 

They were later presented to the State Counsel in Mundemba and after interrogation, were deported to their countries of origin. Edwin Nkenya also disclosed that the beaches that were used by the repatriated immigrants to enter the country have since been shut down because of their illegal activities. The DO attributed the success of the operation to collaboration between him and security forces, explaining that clandestine aliens often take advantage of the vast maritime frontier to try to enter the country.

Edwin Nkenya Ngwana also congratulated security forces, whose relentless efforts, in collaboration with the Divisional Office, have led to total calm and serenity in Ekondo-Titi today. As a result, most criminals who hitherto operated in the subdivision have been arrested and are now in prison custody while awaiting trial. During the coordination meeting, the sixth this year, service heads presented reports on their activities. At the end, they resolved to work harder in 2016.
