Two Nigerians Arrested In India While Trying To Join ISIS

Two young Nigerians suspected to be
on their way to joining the Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror gang were on Friday
arrested at the volatile India-Pakistan
border after scaling a barbed wire
fence near the border .
Alert Border Security Force (BSF)
troopers apprehended Imran Kabeer
and Sani Jamiliu both from Kano and
later handed them over to Punjab
Police.
The suspects aged between 24 and 25
told BSF officials they wanted to go to
Pakistan and later to Iraq.
They carried no valid travel
documents to enter Pakistan.
Both youths arrived in the Sikh holy
city of Amritsar, 30 km from Punjab,
on Thursday from Delhi in a hired
taxi.
They argued with the taxi driver on
Thursday night, hoodwinked him and
drove away his Swift Dzire car.
They arrived at the integrated check
point at Attari on Friday morning.
“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,” a BSF
official said.
BSF Amritsar sector deputy inspector
general, M.F. Farooqui, confirmed the
arrest.
