The Nigeria Immigration Service has apprehended two accomplices of a Lebanese terrorist, Ahmed Al Assir, who obtained a Nigerian visa in Beruit, Lebanon, in August, 2015.
The Comptroller-General of Immigration, Martin Abeshi, said Assir’s accomplices were nabbed in Kano and had been handed over to the National Security Adviser for further Investigation.
Abeshi told journalists while responding to questions on Wednesday in Abuja that Assir’s accomplices were arrested the moment the NIS learnt that the terrorist was visiting Nigeria
Abeshi said, “The Immigration service did not issue the visa to the Lebanese terrorist because we don’t have immigration officers at the embassy. Maybe the visa was issued by Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials or some other officials, but the moment we learnt about the incident, we identified the people the suspect was coming to visit in Kano and they were handed over to the NSA.”
