Authorities in Malawi have arrested two Nigerian nationals for allegedly being involved in a passport fraud operation. According to police reports, the suspects were caught trying to obtain Malawian passports using fake documents. The arrest followed an investigation by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services, which uncovered irregularities in their applications.

Officials say the two men are currently in custody and will face charges under Malawi’s immigration laws. The authorities have also promised to tighten security measures to prevent further passport-related crimes in the country.

The incident has sparked discussions on social media about the need for stronger cooperation between African nations to combat identity fraud and document forgery.
