The gale of deportations of Nigerians from Europe continued yesterday with a set of 28 Nigerians deported from the United Kingdom (UK).
This came 48 hours after 23 Nigerians were deported from Spain and exactly a week after 34 were deported from six European countries.
It was gathered that like the precious deportations, the latest deportees were sent home for immigration offences. It is strongly believed that the deportees’ travel documents had expired.
The deportees comprising 21 males and seven females, were conveyed in a chartered Titanic Airways plane which was said to have touched ground at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMlA) Lagos at 12.13pm.
Spokesman of the Lagos Airport Police Command, DSP Joseph Alabi said the deportees were allowed to go since they were not deported for criminal offences.
