Nigeria Immigration seized 452 pvcs id cards others from Niger Republic Nationals
The State Comptroller of
Immigration Service, Mr Yunusa
Aliyu, told newsmen that 66 PVCs,
33 temporary voter cards, 271 old
and 69 new national identity cards
were among the seized documents. He revealed that the documents
were seized by officers attached to
Tureta checkpoint on the Sokoto-
Gusau road. “The suspected car snatchers were
stopped for a routine search by
the officers but they refused to
stop. They fled. “The officers pursued them and the
suspects abandoned the vehicle
and fled, although no suspect was
arrested,” he explained. He further said, “It is extremely
difficult to differentiate between
the Hausa from northern Nigeria
and those from the neighbouring
Niger Republic,” adding that this
could be the reason why the PVCs, which were supposed to be issued
to bonafide Nigerians were
allegedly given to non-Nigerians. Asides the PVCs, other items
recovered included a local
government identification card and
12 birth certificates.
