NIS arrests wandering foreigner in Abeokuta: Following the fear of possible incursion of Boko Haram sect into Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, Officials of the Nigerian Immigration Service yesterday arrested a Chinese national for wandering capital . The incident which was observed by Saturday Vanguard occurred at MKO Abiola International Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta. Two of the Immigration officers, having spotted the Chinese man clutching on to a cellophane bag containing some unknown items and walking aimlessly around the place, apprehended the man. During his arrest, the Immigration officials accosted him, inquired about his mission which he could not explain apparently due to his inability to express himself in English language. Rather than cooperating with the immigration personnel after flashing their identity card the obviously fraustrated Chinese put up a stiffer resistance, beat one of the officials and attempted to run away for fear of being arrested. The development, which drew the attention of members of the public in the area however, provoked the Immigration officials who put up a call across to their Oke – Mosan, Abeokuta office from where other officers came and whisked the man away for further interrogation. - VANGUARD
