Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>A man believed to be an Egyptian ran for his life on Sunday after a Zambia Immigration Officer requested him to show his immigration status. The man who has not been named immediately ran away\u2014leaving behind his car which had carpets and other household items.<\/p>\n

This happened at the residence of the immigration officer in Lusaka. \u201cSome of the items found in the vehicle included carpets, sandwich makers, and blenders. The search for the suspected Egyptian is ongoing,\u201d Immigration Department Public Relations Officer Namati Nshinka has said in a statement. Mr Nshinka says the department has observed a rise in the number of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 18th March, 2023, 76 illegal immigrants were removed from the country. This was in a bid to help decongest the correctional facilities in Lusaka. The mass removal exercise brings the number of persons of different nationalities removed from the country between 17th and 19th March, 2023, to 126.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this period, the department apprehended 63 persons for various immigration offences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe department t has noted with concern an increase in foreign nationals engaged in door-to-door selling of various products. The department does not issue any permit that allows this kind of business, hence all foreign nationals engaging in this activity are doing so illegally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge members of the public to report such persons to the nearest Immigration Office,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
