NSCDC Detains 20 Undocumented Foreign Nationals in Kano
The Kano State Command of the NSCDC arrested 20 foreign nationals in the Danbare area of Kumbotso LGA on April 8, 2026. The suspects—12 from Sudan, six from Chad, one from Cameroon and one from Niger—could not produce valid travel or ID documents. Authorities recovered 10 Android phones and launched profiling and investigations to determine their activities and any unlawful links. Relevant security agencies have been notified and are collaborating under existing laws. One detainee, Idrisa Ila from Niger, said he has traded in Kano for three years. He met the others on Facebook and arranged accommodation, but locals grew suspicious when too many occupants gathered and few spoke Hausa or English.
