A total of 59 Nigerians were deported from Spain to Nigeria aboard a chartered flight, Air Europa, at about 4:20pm on Friday.
The deportees were said to have been involved in drug related offences, crimes and immigration offences.
The charter flight marked AEA 911, which came through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport , Lagos , also had on board some foreign security officials.
Security sources at the airport, who confirmed the report, said the 59 Nigerians were deported for various offences.
According to sources at MMIA, two of the 59 deportees were arrested for drugs-related offences; one person was for crimes; while the rest had violated some immigration offences.
Officials at the Hajj and Cargo Terminal in MMIA said some of the deportees were seen waving down cabs along the airport road.
Eyewitnesses also said that some of the female deportees, who claimed to reside outside Lagos and lacked money to lodge in a hotel, joined some cargo workers to their houses.
Immigration sources said, several Nigerians were being deported from overseas on a weekly basis.
In recent weeks, hundreds of Nigerians were deported from Libya, United Kingdom, United States of America, Ireland, Holland and Spain.
Immigration sources said the increasing dimension of human trafficking, had contributed to the bad trend.
Hundreds of Nigerians were recently deported from Libya.

dont worry you go soon become parent, then your child will blame you for not laying good foundation for them, do you think these parents you are talking about had any opportunity themselves, some parents labour throughout their live time to give their children education bcos they believe that will change their conditions but what do they get after training the child, unemployment, lack of opportunity to use what he/she has learnt bcos the child's fathers name does not ring a bell or there is no uncle or brother to connect him/her.
