Sixty-five Nigerians were on Friday deported from some European
countries, an official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria said in
Lagos.
The FAAN official, who pleaded anonymity, revealed this to the
News Agency of Nigeria at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport’s cargo
section in Lagos.
The source noted that the returnees came from Spain, Bulgaria,
Romania and the United Kingdom.
The source said the deportees, who arrived at 7.40am, were made up
of 48 males, 12 females and five children.
He explained that they were arrested for allegedly having expired
documents and being illegal aliens.
The source said that eight of the deportees, including three
females, were deported for alleged criminal offences.
He added that the eight persons were immediately arrested on
arrival by policemen and taken to the Criminal Investigation Department,
Nigerian Police Force, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, in a Toyota pick-up with
registration number “Ontario AZKC-549.”
A NAN correspondent who was at the airport, reported that the five
male deportees initially resisted arrest, but were later persuaded to cooperate
by the policemen.
