No fewer than 500 Nigerians were reportedly deported by the government of the United Kingdom (UK) on Wednesday.
The plane bearing the said 500 Nigerians touched ground in Nigeria’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, as most of the deportees expressed dissatisfaction with returning home and the manner they were treated by UK authorities.
According to a report from the BBC, one of the deportees said that he was arrested by British police and was not allowed to pick his belongings before he was shown his way back home.
According to report from BBC ...
A few of them who said they don’t have relatives here are stranded in the airport.
Recently, Nigeria expressed concern over UK’s plan to deport 29,000 Nigerians, and has insisted that due process be followed before Nigerians are removed from the UK.
The West African nation says Britain must ensure that those been deported are really Nigerians, medically fit to travel and have a role to play in the country – meaning they should be able to fit into Nigerian society,” the report summed.
