UK sends Nigerians packing with their Ghana-must-go bags
A total of 41 deportees – comprising of 33 males and 8 females – arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos from the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
The deportees could be seen identifying their Ghana-must-go bags upon touchdown.
Reports say those deported were residents whose documents had expired and prisoners whose terms of imprisonment were nearing completion.
The spokesperson for the National Emergency Management Agency, South-West Zone, Ibrahim Farinloye, had said the deportees who haven’t completed their prison sentences would be taken to Nigerian prisons to complete their terms.
“Although we cannot tell the various offences, we believe others could be drug-related and immigration problems. We expect that when they arrive in the country, we would be able to know the real reason for their deportation,” Farinloye said.
