He stated that the repatriation resulted from an operation in which 59 immigrants were arrested.

“The arrest and repatriation of these immigrants is based on a directive from our hardworking Comptroller General, Muhammed Babandede, to checkmate activities of immigrants in the state.

“This is with a view to ensuring that their documents are up to date and they do not play any role in the forthcoming general elections in the state and country at large.

“Nigeriens that have valid documents are free to continue with their legitimate activities,’’ he said.

He however warned that any foreigner found voting on election days in any part of the state would be arrested and prosecuted.
