By Ikugbadi Oluwasegun

The Nigeria Immigration Service says it has dismantled a transnational organised crime syndicate linked to the QNET/IGNITE network, arrested twelve suspects, and rescued two victims.

This was disclosed in a statement by Akinsola Akinlabi, Service Public Relations Officer, who says the operation followed intelligence trafficking activities across Lagos and Ogun States.

The statement identifies the suspects as one Burkinabé national believed to be the syndicate leader, alongside eight Liberians and three Cameroonians arrested in different parts of Lagos.

It adds that the suspects and the rescued victims have been transferred to the Service Headquarters for further investigation and necessary legal action.

It further advises members of the public to verify employment, education, business, and other migration offers through appropriate channels before travelling or making financial commitments.
