92 Nigerians repatriated from Britain

Ninety-two Nigerians who were deported by the British government, on Thursday landed at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

 

The Nigerians who arrived the Lagos airport aboard a chartered plane with registration number 509 at about 9.00am, consist of 77 males and 15 females. “Two of them were brought home on drug related cases, four of them on police cases, while the rest were on immigration offenses,” said an immigration source at the international airport who spoke on condition of anonymity.

 

Deportees lament new law


A few deportees contacted by NEXT at the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) premises, expressed sadness at a new law put in place by the British government, explaining that the initiative has led to the “massive deportation” embarked upon by the government.

 

A female deportee who insisted on giving only her first name, Ann, said that she: “I am being frustrated, I can’t do anything now. I have been in detention for over one week before I was deported. I have been in London since 2004. “I have always been renewing my documents until now that I was deported because it is their new law that Nigerians should be repatriated back. I have everything including cars, and I work in a good place; but even people that have children were also repatriated from London,” she said.

 

A male deportee described the move by the British government as one that is bias, stressing that the government is being conservative. “In fact, the British government is bad and very conservative, they don’t like Nigerians; we were being deported irrespective of the fact that most of us have our documents,” he explained.

“Like myself, I have been in detention for three months before I was finally deported. I went to London to study Electrical Engineering and after I finished my study, I decided to stay in the UK up till now that I was deported,” he said.
