Three Nigerian nationals have been arrested in Delhi, India, for allegedly staying in the country without valid immigration documents. The men were detained by the Delhi Police during an immigration verification exercise and subsequently transferred to a detention centre.
The arrests took place on October 31 during a verification drive in Dwarka, an area in southwest Delhi. The Times of India reported the development on Sunday, citing police officials familiar with the operation.
The three Nigerians were identified as Bartholomew Iloegbunem, Konan Okocha, also known as Konan Brice Kousaai, and Ndubuisi Nwabufor. Police reportedly questioned the men during the exercise over their immigration status.
According to the report, the suspects were unable to present documents authorising their stay in India when asked by the police. Their failure to provide the required immigration papers reportedly led to their arrest.
Following their detention, the three men were presented before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), the agency responsible for handling foreign nationals’ registration and related immigration matters.
They were subsequently transferred to the Sewa Sadan detention centre in Lampur, where they are being held following the immigration proceedings, according to the report.
The arrests form part of a verification exercise conducted by the Delhi Police in the Dwarka area. However, further details about the men’s immigration status, how long they had been in India, and the next steps in their cases were not provided in the report.
