IBADAN — The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has said 18 foreigners arrested over an alleged possession of permanent voter cards (PVCs) in Oyo have been deported.
Isah Dansuleiman, NIS comptroller in the state, announced this on Wednesday at a sensitisation programme for stakeholders on the 2023 general election.
Dansuleiman said the operatives arrested the foreigners during a raid carried out across the state in October.
He also warned foreigners in the country against participating in the 2023 elections.
“No migrant, regardless of their status, should participate in the 2023 general elections, and any migrant caught in possession of voter card will face the full wrath of the law,” he said.
“Those using them know their status but use them for their selfish reasons to procure voter cards.”
