TROOPS APPREHEND 46 SUSPECTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN OGUN STATE Troops of the Nigerian Army, in conjunction with DSS, NSCDC and Immigration, have apprehended 46 suspected illegal immigrants residing in Ogun State following actionable intelligence. The operation which commenced on 11 June 2026, led to the arrest of the suspects... at various locations within Ijebu Imushin, Ijebu Ilese and surrounding communities during a targeted security operation. Preliminary investigations revealed that the individuals had allegedly been residing in the state for approximately six months without valid immigration documentation. During interrogation, the suspects claimed to be merchants and workers affiliated with QNet, an online marketing platform involved in the sale of various commodities. The arrested individuals comprise 18 nationals of Burkina Faso, 23 nationals of Côte d'Ivoire, 4 nationals of Togo and 1 national of Senegal. Among them are 36 males and 10 females. The suspects have since been handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Ogun State Command, for further investigation and appropriate administrative action in accordance with extant laws. Speaking on the operation, the Commander, 35 Artillery Brigade, Brigadier General Friday Oguche Onu, commended the troops and collaborating security agencies for their professionalism and vigilance. He also urged residents to remain security conscious and promptly report suspicious activities and individuals to relevant security agencies. The successful operation underscores the commitment of the Nigerian Army and other security agencies to combating illegal migration, enhancing internal security, and safeguarding national interests.

Una actionable intelligence no Dey ever reach terrorist side⚠️‼️ These are your generals whom the terrorists have made a joke of, but no, your joint intelligence stops at photo ops

They are not the perpetrators of the crimes going on in Nigeria. Go after the killers of the Four Generals

That's Xenophobia. Africans can't be illegal in Africa

But una still dey reintegrate terrorists back into the society

Nigerians say us South Africans are xenophobic for being hard working on illegal immigrants. Why is Nigeria now the most one apprehending illegal foreigners? <z_p>

You people should remove Ivry Coast, they are nice people .

But I thought you people were saying “an African can’t be illegal in Africa” Or that’s just the bullshit we spread about South Africa

"No African is a Foreigner in African Land"

I'm sure many of them got deceived to come to our country. Kudos to all Our operatives for making Ogun state a safer place for us all.

May they return safe. Bravo the synergy is good one🇳🇬🪖

Your worry is illegal immigrants in Nigeria. You can't be serious. You still got kids kidnapped in the forest and getting starved and dying but here you are chasing harmless chickens. Ooh Nigeria

Pls try and read before u comment u all flipping lunatics, until u become a victim of this Qnet, its still on going in Ghana too, most of them are Ghanaians that switched nationality cus they don’t wanna give their country bad name. However I’ll advise u to do legit job

So you have left north east and now reduce yourself to doing the work of immigration services????🤦‍♂️ who swear for Nigeria??

We're better than this. Why demonize people who came here just to make enough to take care of their families? Are you telling me they're the source of our insecurity? This needs to stop. We're Nigeria and we're giant is Africa for a reason. Nigeria is home to all Africans. Stop this now. @officialABAT

"Troops of the Nigerian Army, in conjunction with DSS, NSCDC and Immigration, have apprehended 46 suspected illegal immigrants residing in Ogun State following actionable intelligence" Okay, you have tried welcome 👏 👏 The fulanis, do they have Immigration or citizenship??

These ones from these countries are not the threat. Go and search for illegal fulanis from chad, Niger republic, Futo-jalon, Mali and Bokina Faso

Tell your intel units to bring in credible intelligence that will decimate terrorists and put you on the offensive against them constantly, and deport these foreigners of which most of them were deceived to come over for jobs that don't exit. Stop rehabilitating terrorists.

No African is a foreigner in Africa. Stop being xenophobic!!!😏

For 4 weeks kids and their teachers have been in the forests of Oyo. The terrorists release videos every morning. An MTN staff can track their location from home. See you, tracking common travelers even after you lost a General. You are all sick.

I used to be so proud of The Nigerian Army because of my late Granpa and Uncle, but now , hmmmmmm, They are doing well , but e be like others go Dey proud of them jare , I don tired 🥱

Very stupid institutions. Leave innocent people alone and arrest the perpetrators. Always looking for who to victimize

go to asero estate. the street directly opposite “18 flats”, do your investigation. them full one building, they almost kidnapped me and forced me to sell my car as far back as 2023. they’re there @HQNigerianArmy

Imagine a government building in this state. How much worse is the place where ordinary citizens stay 🙄 🤔 😳 this is so shocking. I thought Nigeria 🇳🇬 was the Giant of Africa. What changed ?

@Palermo_seun I think this is due to the presence of foreigners in that State?

They are IPOB/ESN immigrant or you forget the caption? kindly edit and complete your topic of the day.🤣🤣🤣🤣 zero intelligence

@woye1 Go after the terrorists who are unaliving our citizens instead!

Idiot command that has failed to arrest Terrorists that handed the body of late retired general to them, what a shame, Nigeria army has power over civilians but confronting terrorists and bandits that are in their toe becomes weakness.

Stop calling them illegal immigrants Do you ppl have sense at all?

Why arresting follow Africans ? Stop that nonsense

If they're not from Tchat, Niger, Sudan then they're not of any particular concern. We don't do this in Nigeria o

Leave those innocent people alone and go after the Boko boys killing your leaders.

Una shame de shame Nigeria
