LEADERSHIP SUNDAY gathered that, on Wednesday around 11:43pm, a swarm of Nigeriens and Chadians crossed unfettered into the country through Jibia and other communities in Katsina State.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said security talks held with neighbouring countries of Chad, Niger and other border countries over the security threat posed by Boko Haram, which is recruiting foreigners into its ranks through the country's borders, will remain confidential.
The spokesman of the foreign affairs ministry, Ode Ogbole, told LEADERSHIP SUNDAY however, that he was not aware of any security talks between Nigeria and its neighbours or that any of these countries' citizens why recruited by Boko Haram, but added that his minister had briefed the diplomatic community on measures being taken at the borders.
Ode also said that he was not aware of any request from the State Security Service made to the ministry seeking to either contact any of the neighbouring states for information on security issues, but said Nigeria has treaties and agreements with some of these countries.
He said, "There have been security cooperation that goes way back to the civil war. At that time, Cameroon under Ahidjo did not toe the French line. Any talks, agreements would be highly confidential. If top secret information is sent to Chad, it would not be made public."
The spokesman of the Immigration Service, Mr. Joachim Olumba, who made the disclosure to LEADERSHIP SUNDAY on the situation at Yobe, Borno and other borders, also expressed his disappointment with dead-wood immigrations laws into the country.
