Malawi Arrests 74 Ethiopians for Illegal EntrySeptember 3, 2017 - Malawi Immigration Department has arrested 74 Ethiopians for illegal entry and five Malawian drivers for aiding them into the country. In a related story, a couple of days ago the Kenyan police had arrested 13 Ethiopian men for similar reason. Confirming the arrest of the Ethiopians, Malawi Northern Region Immigration Public Relations Officer Blackwell Lungu bemoaned why some Malawians are still aiding illegal Ethiopian immigrants into the country despite several awareness campaigns against the same. Lungu said aiding the Ethiopians through illegal routes is an indirect way of opening a door for criminals and disease carriers into the country since such foreigners do not have proper documentation. Meanwhile, the Ethiopian immigrants, all male, are on remand at Mzuzu Prison waiting to appear in court of law to answer charges.
