No fewer than 83 Nigerians are expected to arrive in the country on Wednesday (today) following their deportation from the United Kingdom.
It was gathered that those deported were residents whose documents
had expired and prisoners whose terms of imprisonment were nearing
completion.
Speaking on the issue, The spokesperson for the National Emergency
Management Agency, South-West Zone, Ibrahim Farinloye, said the
deportees arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 7:40 am
today.
According to Farinloye, some of the prisoners in the plane would complete their jail terms in Nigeria.
He said, “We were informed that 83 Nigerians would be deported
from the United Kingdom on Wednesday morning. Some of the people
affected are those who haven’t completed their prison sentences. They
would be taken to Nigerian prisons to complete their terms. Although we
cannot tell the various offences, we believe others could be
drug-related and immigration problems.
“We expect that when they arrive in the country, we would be
able to know the real reason for their deportation. The aircraft is
expected to arrive in the country at 5am at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport.”
