Almajiris on their Way to Abia Intercepted at State’s Border

Abia State Homeland Security team led by the Commissioner for Homeland Security, Prince Dan Okoli, today intercepted another group of Almajiris hidden in cattle trucks at Enugu – Abia border along the Enugu -Port Harcourt Highway.

Recall that Abia State Government uncovered the plot on Monday and alerted its security agencies.

Overnight, several trucks conveying food items with several almajiris hiding in them were turned back at the same border.

Meanwhile, the state Government has directed that more homeland security agents be deployed to one of the borders with Akwa Ibom State following the interception of a Dangote truck conveying almajiris alongside goods destined for Akwa Ibom State.
