He said: "In fact, we have recovered some arms from some of these
okadas. In the same vein, some of these illegal aliens don't register
their okadas. Immediately we impound the okadas, we hand over the
illegal aliens to Immigration Service for deportation. So far, so good,
we are really trying.
"Initially we were not searching the okadas in their presence we were just impounding the okadas, but now we are searching the okadas in their presence. So, if we want to impound your okada, we will search it and if nothing is found, we will allow you to go."
