No Wonder we are not safe - 1,400 Illegal Border Routes Into Nigeria

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), on Wednesday in Abuja, disclosed that the over 1,400 illegal border routes in the country had grave security implications for the country.

The Comptroller General of the Service, Mr David Parradang, made the disclosure while addressing the National Conference Committee on Immigration.

He said that even though the country had only 84 approved land border control posts designated in the 1980s after the Maitatsine riots, “there are more than 1,400 illegal borders in the country.

“Across the over 4,000 square kilometres coverage, we have well over 1,400 illegal routes which are not manned.

“The number of illegal routes is 100 times more than the number of approved routes.
