The Lagos State Command Comptroller of the Nigerian Immigration Service, CIS Christopher Olu Onajinrin, has paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary/CEO of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, to express deep appreciation for the Fund’s ongoing support while seeking further collaboration to strengthen migration and border security operations across Lagos, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.
Speaking during the courtesy visit, CIS Onajinrin conveyed a message of gratitude from the Comptroller-General of Immigration, Kemi Nanna Nandap, describing LSSTF’s interventions as invaluable. “I am here to express our profound gratitude to the LSSTF. Your worthy contributions have been acknowledged at the highest level,” he said. “As the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, the role of the Nigeria Immigration Service in Lagos can never be overemphasized. With the heat from the Sahel, we face irregular and undocumented inflows of migrants into Lagos, which many call the ‘America of the nation.”

He revealed recent operations, including the repatriation of 21 Chadians found living in a cramped apartment in Fagba, which is one of several similar cases uncovered in Alimosho, Epe, and other locations.
CIS Onajinrin appealed for operational vehicles and logistic support. “We are overstretched. Occasionally, when we need to repatriate migrants, we have to source vehicles from Oyingbo to convey them as far as Yobe or the Illela border. We have offices across all 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs. Please look into our needs,” he said.
