A Nigerian woman was arrested in Tripura for allegedly entering India illegally from Bangladesh.
Authorities in Tripura have arrested a Nigerian woman for alleged illegal entry into India from Bangladesh, raising concerns about border security.
The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Ngridowu Adurgebemi Bussing, was detained on Saturday at Belonia Railway Station in South Tripura during a joint operation by the Border Security Force (BSF) and Government Railway Police (GRP). Reports said she was found with Bangladeshi and Indian currencies worth Rs 8,000 but gave little information during questioning. Officials believe she crossed into India through porous routes in the Belonia sector.
Bussing was produced before the Belonia Court and remanded in judicial custody pending investigation. Authorities are tracing her movements and possible connections in India.
Her detention comes four months after another Nigerian, Francis Odoko, was arrested at the same station with multiple phones. Odoko had previously served three years in Chandigarh for cybercrime.
A senior officer said the arrests highlight “the continuing challenge of cross-border movement and its potential links with criminal activities.”
