The Controller of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Edo State Command, Martins Moye, has issued a warning about the escalating number of irregular migrants entering Nigeria.
He delivered the speech during the 2024 Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) enlightenment campaign against irregular migration in Benin City, Edo State.
The campaign’s theme was “Say No to Migrant Smuggling. If You Must Migrate, Do It Safely, Orderly, and Regularly.”
In his address, Moye highlighted the critical need for the campaign, given the significant increase in irregular migrants.
David Amanahu, the Assistant Controller of Immigration from NIS headquarters in Abuja, also shared a message from the Controller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap.
Amanahu noted, “The Controller-General’s message is clear: the NIS is now more focused than ever on border management and migration issues.”
Additionally, Deputy Superintendent of Immigration Woshak Danladi highlighted the grave dangers associated with irregular migration.
“Irregular migration can cost you your freedom, and in some cases, even your life.
“There’s a risk of organ harvesting, human rights abuses, and many more dangers,” he warned, urging officers to actively educate the public on these risks.
