The Lagos State Government said yesterday that the 72 people ‘deported’ to Onitsha, Anambra State last week constituted a nuisance. Controversy has been trailing the government’s action.

Fielding questions from newsmen after the state Security Council meeting chaired by Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), the Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr. Umaru Manko, said the state government only rehabilitated and resettled the people.

The CP said: “What happened was that the state did rehabilitation and resettlement of the citizens from other states that came into the state and turned into destitute. After the state government had reformed them.

“After that, they indicated their interest of going back to their home-towns to be resettled. The deportees were dumped at upper Eweka Under Bridge in Onitsha at about 2am.
That was what happened. There wasn’t any deportation”.


On security in the state, CP Manko reassured the residents that the operatives are on top of their job.

This Morning, the Lagos state Government ordered the Operatives of OP-MESA and SARS to take over the Ladipo Motor Parts Market, as over 15 pick up vans with armed mobile policemen are stationed to force the the Igbo Traders to accept the Market leader imposed on them by the Government.

A 'nuisance. 'The same word used by the Americans, the British, the Canadians, the Chinese, the French, the Swiss, the Portuguese, the Italians, - in short the whole world when deporting Nigerians!

Very unfortunate that this act was carried out by a lawyer(SAN), who should should know better, the constitution of the federal republic of Nigerian guarantees freedom of movement  for every Nigerian.Is this the APC that will change Nigeria Huh?

I am just watching the 5 South East Governors to see their reaction to this insult by Fashola.They should be aware that they will be setting a precedent if they fail to properly address this provocation by Fashola.And to you Fashola,I just hope you realize what you have started in Nigeria.Just like we read from history books today that it was Ahmadu Alli (Former PDP Chairman),that introduced the paying of school fees (Tuition) in Federal Universities in 1978 when he was the Education Minister.So also shall people read in history books 2,3,5 or 10 years from now that you were the one that started the deportation of Nigerians within Nigeria and thus triggered the break up of the entity called Nigeria.....because that is exactly where it is going to lead.

Is dis law made for de igbos now or should it be for every other citizen who operate in the said market? Am creazy abt Fash and his knowlege of development but deportation of fellow citizens of Nigeria and imposing levy on a particular group is unfair. Mr Lagos state governor pls re-adress dis issue. Cool
