NIS, in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, said, “In keeping with its commitment to securing the borders, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) intercepted Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, otherwise known as Bobrisky, at the Seme Border over an attempt to exit the country.

“The service assures the public that it will continue to be civil and professional in its statutory responsibility of manning the country’s borders.”
