Nigerian Army troops and other security agencies arrest 46 suspected illegal or undocumented foreign nationals in Ogun State. Multiple outlets report that the operation is intelligence-led and carried out in communities including Ijebu Imushin and Ijebu Ilese and surrounding areas. Authorities say the suspects include nationals from countries such as Togo and Burkina Faso, with figures reported by some outlets indicating 36 men and 10 women.
The arrests involve cooperation among the Nigerian Army, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS). Sources also report that the suspects are handed over to immigration authorities for further processing. One report says preliminary investigations indicate the suspects had lived in Ogun State for about six months before their arrest.
The operation is described in press releases and reporting as a security sweep targeting people staying illegally or without proper documentation. The articles do not provide further details on charges or the outcomes of investigations beyond the immediate detention and handover to immigration.
