Uganda’s National Citizenship and Immigration Control says it arrested 62 Nigerians on Monday, for operating a church in Adjumani district and residing in the country without valid immigration documents.
In a statement posted on its X handle on Wednesday, the Ugandan national citizenship and immigration control (NCIC), said the arrest followed a tip-off after learning that the individuals were operating illegally without the required permits.
“Following a tip-off, our enforcement team has arrested 62 Nigerian nationals operating illegally in Adjumani (without work permits),” the statement reads.
“The group, primarily found operating a church among other things, is now being processed for prosecution under Uganda’s immigration.”
