Moro said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse.
According to him, the various arrests made during many crises in the country, revealed that some foreigners were among the perpetrators.
“We mobilised immigration officers from various commands to deploy to vulnerable borders to prevent entry of illegal immigrants,” he said.
The minister stated that his ministry had concluded plan to provide 11 armoured patrol vehicles to be used along the borders in addition to purchasing some technologies that would help in monitoring activities along the borders.
He said the ministry had also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Machinery Corporation in Beijing on the provision of electronic equipment for use along the borders.
The minister said that plan was underway to construct about 84 plazas in all identified border posts across the country.
Moro explained that the illegal entry of immigrants would be curtailed by the time all the measures were in place. (NAN)
