On Friday, one hundred and three Nigerians landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the country’s capital. They were among those deported from the Republic of Turkey.
They landed at the airport’s pilgrims’ wing at 6:45 p.m. aboard a Southwind Airlines flight with the registration number TC-GRB.
When they arrived, they were greeted by a number of government agencies, including the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Department of State Services (DSS) operatives, and military personnel.
It is unclear whether they committed any offence in Turkey to warrant their deportation.
The angry deportees narrated their treatment, alleging they were unfairly treated in the European country.
According to them, they were detained by the Turkish authorities for over 11 months before being deported.
They therefore called on the Nigeria government to fight for them and reclaim all their valuables.
