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.”
