The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel have detained a 34-year-old Nigerian man, Maxwell Nweke, in Tripura, India, for illegally attempting to cross the border into Bangladesh.
A BSF spokesperson disclosed on Monday, December 9, 2024, that the arrest followed specific intelligence that led to the establishment of a checkpoint at Kaiyedhepa in the Sepahijala district. Maxwell was observed acting suspiciously along the India-Bangladesh border road when he attempted to cross the border.
During the operation, BSF troops also apprehended an Indian tout, Suraj Prasad, from Amtali in West Tripura. Prasad, who tried to flee the scene on a motorcycle, is recognized as a notorious tout actively pursued by the BSF for his involvement in cross-border crimes.

The Nigerian national and the Indian tout, along with other apprehended foreigners, have been handed over to local police for investigation. They will subsequently be presented before the courts.
