Earlier, Harry pointed out that one of the service’s mandate was to curb the influx of criminal elements into the country.
The comptroller said that the service would ensure that the state was rid of illegal immigrants as well as criminals.
He pledged on behalf of the service to ensure that criminal elements flee the state and sued for support of the government for the Service to achieve its target.
