United Kingdom Deports 35 Nigerians
The Government of the United Kingdom on Wednesday deported 35 Nigerians for committing immigration-related offences in the country.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the deportees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMlA) Lagos at about 5.50 a.m.
The deportees, comprising 30 males and five females, were brought back aboard a chartered Titanic Airways aircraft with registration Number: G-POWO.
The spokesman of the Lagos Airport Police Command, DSP Joseph Alabi, confirmed the development to NAN.
NAN gathered that the deportees were profiled by the immigration authorities and were each given a stipend to facilitate their transportation to their respective states.
It would be recalled that the British authorities had on March 31 deported 23 Nigerians for similar reasons.
