The arrests were made on Sunday as part of a focused operation by the south-west district police against illegal foreign nationals.

According to authorities, the Operations Cell received intelligence regarding the movement of illegal African nationals in the south-west district area. During New Year’s night patrol, officers intercepted Onyeka and Chinoso, who initially claimed to have valid visas with the Nigerian embassy.

During interrogation, the suspects admitted to working in housekeeping roles in areas like Shahpura (Delhi), Gurugram, and Noida. Police recovered copies of their Nigerian passports and national identity cards from their mobile phones. The pair were apprehended en route to Hauz Khas village for New Year’s celebrations.
