Cambodian immigration police arrested 60 Nigerian Community during a raid on a
rented villa in Phnom Penh's Chamkarmon district on Wednesday, a senior
police official said.
"They had illegally entered Cambodia for living and
working," Major
General Uk Heisela, chief of the General Department of Immigration
(GDI)'s investigation and procedure department, told Xinhua, adding that
none of them has a passport.
"They will be deported to their birth country within a week," he said.
According to the GDI, the Southeast Asian country expelled 3,509 illegal immigrants in 2016, most of them Vietnamese nationals.
Under the country's immigration law, any alien living in Cambodia
without valid documents such as passports, visas, or work permits are
subject to deportation.
