In recent operations, Oman Police have intensified efforts to curb illegal infiltration, arresting 25 individuals involved in illegal entry. The Oman Police’s actions reflect their ongoing commitment to national security and humanitarian care. Importantly, medical treatment was provided to eleven intruders who suffered exhaustion and dehydration during their attempts to enter the country.
The Nimr Police Unit, a division of the Oil and Gas Installations Security Police, played a key role in one of these significant arrests. Specifically, officers apprehended an Omani citizen who was transporting 14 Ethiopian infiltrators in a four-wheel-drive vehicle within a critical oil facility area. This swift action prevented potential risks to national infrastructure.
Furthermore, the Police patrols discovered an additional 11 Ethiopian nationals trying to cross desert terrain on foot. Due to the harsh desert conditions, some of these individuals showed clear signs of exhaustion and dehydration. The Oman Police immediately provided medical care to ensure their safety before initiating legal proceedings.
Meanwhile, in a separate operation, the Police Command in Al Dhahirah Governorate apprehended a Yemeni national for illegally entering Oman. He is also under investigation for suspected damage and theft at two commercial shops in Ibri. He remains in custody as formal charges are being prepared.
These recent arrests underline the Police’s unwavering dedication to protecting the country’s borders. At the same time, they highlight the force’s humanitarian approach by offering medical assistance when necessary. By balancing enforcement with care, the Oman Police demonstrate their complete strategy to manage security challenges.
In addition, the Oman Police have reinforced cooperation with other government agencies to enhance border security. This integrated approach helps detect illegal movements swiftly and respond effectively. The ongoing alertness aims to safeguard Oman’s citizens and critical infrastructure from threats posed by illegal infiltration.
Overall, the Oman Police continue to prioritize national security while showing compassion towards vulnerable individuals involved in illegal entry. Their efforts send a strong message that unlawful infiltration will not be allowed, yet human dignity remains respected.
