A Nigerian national was arrested on the charge of staying illegally in the country, police said on Thursday.
The accused Wilsan Oeochukwu, 28, came to India on an education visa and was earlier staying in Vasant Kunj area of New Delhi.

Police officer Surender Singh told IANS, "Oeochukwu was arrested from a PG in U block during a routine search operation. His visa expired in 2004 and he was staying illegally since then."
