The DCP, Dwarka Police, Delhi disclosed this in a statement via Twitter on Thursday, June 3. 

“2 Nigerian Nationals, who were found living without having valid Visa & Passport were apprehended by the staff of PS Mohan Garden for their deportation.” the statement reads. 

The arrest is coming a day after three Nigerians were apprehended for same offence in Delhi.
