According to reports, they were deported barely five days after 34 Nigerians were sent home from six European countries for committing immigration-related offences.
The new set of deportees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport today in Lagos.
The spokesman of the Lagos Airport Police Command, DSP Joseph Alabi, said that the deportees were received by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, and the Police.
According to him, nine of the deportees, who were deported for drug-related offences, were handed over to the NDLEA.
He said that two others, who were deported for criminal offences, were handed over to the police.
Alabi said that the remaining 12 deportees, accused of breaching the country’s immigration rules, were profiled and allowed to go to their respective destinations.
