Mbeya. Police in Kyela District are holding seven Ethiopians over allegations of illegal immigration.
Regional police commander Ahmed Msangi said the immigrants were arrested at Busale Village in a forest nearby Kiwira Coal Mine where they’re hiding.
“After questioning them, we realised that they were Ethiopians who illegally crossed the border into our country…we have already handed them to the Immigration Department for further steps,” said Mr Msangi.
Mr Msangi, however, urged residents of Mbeya Region to cooperate with law organs in identifying illegal immigrants who were threatening their well-being.
Meanwhile, two people are under police custody for allegedly possessing fake bank notes.
The Mbeya RPC said the suspects whose names are being withheld, are residents of Ilemi and Kagera areas in the city. “The suspects were caught at Uyole in their attempt to distribute the fake bank notes,” he noted.
In another development, police in Mbeya have warned consumers of illicit liquor and drugs, whose number is on the rise in the region to immediately stop before tough penalties are imposed on them.
“Our statistics indicate that the number of people consuming illicit liquor and other illegal drugs is on the rise in the region,” he said.
He reiterated, “We will, therefore, intensify our search for them to ensure that they are all brought before the law for the violation of state laws.”
