The Nigeria Immigration Service on Sunday said there were no armed herdsmen in the country.
The NIS spokesman, Sunday James, who stated this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja, also said there had been tight security at borders since the introduction of the Migration Information and Data Analysis Systems.
Recall that the Federal Government had in November 2019 installed the MIDAS, a border management technology at three international airports, 14 land and two sea borders to check irregular migration, human trafficking and other cross-border crimes.
The MIDAS systems were installed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.
