Minister of the Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, yesterday revealed that the country's illegal borders were barricaded by wood and tyres.

Moro who spoke during the 2013 Ministerial Platform, at Radio house, said that the 1, 497 illegal routes and 84 legal routes identified by the Nigegia Immigration Service (NIS), revealed certain irregularities abandoned by previous administration.

"The condition of our borders are alarming," he said, adding that, "it is unfortunate that the illegal routes are barricaded by tires and woods, which create an easy route for terrorist in to the country.

"I want to assure you that we will contain the situation that has beclouded our country for a long time.

"HP CDAN voice and data radios have been procured and being installed in 59 immigration locations nationwide. "This will provide effective communication links between the State Commands and Border Control posts."

The Minister also said that the e-passport registration embarked upon by the NIS would replace the era of duplication where one person can duplicate over 20 passports.
