Police in Mzimba have arrested 98 Ethiopian illegal immigrants who were on their way to Lilongwe. Spokesperson for Jenda Police Station, Macfarlen Mseteka said police officers made the arrest based on information that alerted them that the illegal immigrants were travelling to Lilongwe in unknown motor vehicles. “After opening the van, it was discovered that it was full of illegal immigrants from Ethiopia hence their arrest. “However, another car, a Toyota Mark II white in colour, which was behind the van managed to turn around and spade off,” he said. The suspected 98 illegal immigrants will be taken to court to answer the charge of entering the country illegally.
