Pictures Of The 2 Nigerians India Arrested On Their Way To Join ISIS

Indian security agencies have arrested
two Nigerian youths suspected to be
on their way to Iraq to join the
terrorist organisation, Islamic State.
They were arrested along the India-
Pakistan border after scaling a barbed
wire fence near the international
border, where they were handed over
to Punjab Police.
They were identified as Imran Kabeer
and Sani Jamiliu.
According to the Indo-Asian News
Services, the two Nigerians, aged
between 24 and 25, from Kano State,
told Indian officials that they wanted
to go to Pakistan and later to Iraq.
The youths, the report said, did not
possess valid travel documents to
enter Pakistan.
They were said to have arrived in
Sikh on Thursday from Delhi in a
hired taxi.
The IANS noted that the duo argued
with the taxi driver on Thursday
night, “hoodwinked him and drove
away his Swift Dzire car and arrived
at the integrated check point at Attari
on Friday morning.”
An Indian official was quoted as
saying:
“On finding the border gates closed,
the youths moved towards a barbed
wire fence along the Attari-Wagah rail
track (on which the Samjhauta
Express peace train between both
countries plies) and jumped over the
high barbed wire fence, thinking they
had entered Pakistan. BSF personnel
immediately nabbed them.”
Since the youths claimed their final
destination was Iraq, security officials
said they could be headed to join the
Islamic State terror outfit.
An Indian Deputy Inspector-General,
M.F. Farooqui, confirmed the arrest
of both Nigerians.
