nWhile the Chadians claimed that they were in Nigeria for a crusade organised by a very “big” Church (name withheld), the Cameroonians said they were here for network marketing.
nAccording to Zagazola Makama, the arrest followed a complaint lodged by Konga Delphine, a Cameroonian national, who reported a case of kidnapping.
nZagazola Makama is a publication that focuses on the Chad region.
nCiting security sources, the publication said police operatives “swiftly” mobilised to the reported location, leading to the arrest of the illegal aliens.
nThe suspects, according Makama, were unable to provide valid travel or residency documents.
nThe suspects are currently in police custody while investigations continue.
nZagazola Makama said: “Preliminary investigation revealed that the Chadian nationals were allegedly brought into the country illegally under the guise of attending an evangelical crusade purportedly organised (by a Church),” Makama quoted a source to have said.
n“The Cameroonian nationals, on the other hand, reportedly claimed they were in Nigeria for network marketing activities.”
