UK government early yesterday morning deported 41 Nigerians over various
immigration offences.
The
deportees comprising 33 males and eight females were brought into Nigeria
through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, at 8am with a
chartered aircraft.
Findings
show that some of the offences of the deportees include expired and fake travel
documents and illegal entry into the UK.
It was also
gathered that some of them had sought for asylum status in the UK, which was
not granted by the immigration authorities, and some before the deportation had
spent between two and 24 years in the UK.
Some of the
deportees were later seen loitering around the Nigerian Aviation Handling
Company (NAHCO) gate while others tried to make telephone contact to some of
their family members to take them out of the airport.
