Three Nigerian nationals have been arrested by the Delhi Police in India for allegedly residing in the country without valid immigration documents.
The arrests were made on October 31 during a verification exercise in Dwarka, southwest Delhi, following which the suspects were transferred to a detention facility.
According to reports by The Times of India, the three men were identified as Bartholomew Uwaebuka Iloegbunem, Konan Okocha, also known as Konan Brice Kousaai, and Ndubuisi Charles Nwabufor.
The police reportedly arrested them after they failed to present valid documents authorising their stay in India when questioned during the verification exercise.
Following their arrest, the Nigerians were presented before the Foreigners Regional Registration Office for further processing before being transferred to the Sewa Sadan detention centre in Lampur.
The development was reported on Sunday, November 8, by The Times of India, which cited police officials.
The authorities have yet to disclose further details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged immigration violations or the next steps in the cases.
