Some 145 undocumented migrants nabbed in remote Sabah village


KOTA KINABALU: Immigration personnel were made to work extra hard before they were able to detain over 100 undocumented migrants in a midnight operation at a remote village in Sabah’s Ranau district, about 100km from here, on Saturday.

It took the 52-strong team almost an hour to reach the target location of Kampung Lutut from the town district, through a dirt road which was hilly for the most part and only accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
