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.
