The information trending on air reveal that No fewer than 43 Nigerians on Thursday night deported from Germany,
Belgium, and Italy for several immigration-related offenses and unruly
behaviour, according to Sahara Reporters.
According to report the deportees arrived through Hi-Fly chartered Airbus 330 aircraft
with registration number CS-TQW at Murtala Muhammed International
Airport (MMIA) at exactly 8:55 p.m.
The deportees were received on arrival by officials of the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigerian Immigration Service
(NIS), the police and several other agencies in deportation matters.
Recall that this is the second time within the week that Nigerians would be
brought back into the country. Earlier in the week, 171 Nigerians
‘voluntarily returned from Libya with a tale of woes after their attempt
to cross to Europe through the sea and the Sahara Desert failed.
While commenting on the latest deportation, the Deputy Director, Search
and Rescue, NEMA, Dr. Bandele Onimode, said the deportees comprised 33
from Italy; seven from Belgium and three from Germany.
Onimode who represented the Director-General of NEMA, Alhaji
Mohammed Sidi said the agency would make sure the deportees were
comfortable and ensure their safe return to their various destinations.
It is gathered that he urged them to stay in the country and join hands with others to develop it.
"They are coming back almost empty and this is a lesson to them
to settle down home and be useful to their country. We will ensure that
they are well catered for," he said.
It would be recalled that on Tuesday, 171 Nigerians, consisting 112
females, 49 males and five infants returned to the country with
lamentations.
One of the deportees who was allowed to talk to the media, Miss
Gift Peters, 27, had lamented her sordid experience in the North Africa
country.
She decried that many Nigerians especially ladies were still
different detention camps and jails in Libya for offenses they knew
nothing about.
She also revealed that she was lured into traveling to Europe
through Libya by an unknown person whom she said is at large at the
moment.
She had said: “I traveled to Libya about 11 months ago, but I
was deceived that I was going to Germany, but instead, I found myself in
Libya. When it was not in my mind to continue the journey, I asked him
to take me back and he started maltreating me, they will do things that
make you want to die.
“They will use hot electric iron to burn that person. They will
even ask other girls to urinate for you to drink. My family was not
aware of my situation in Libyan so I called my friend and told him the
situation I was going through in Libya, and he took my matter to the
station to arrest the man who took me to Libya, but whenever the police
authorities checked on him, he would not be found, and I have since
vowed that whenever I come to Nigeria, I will look for him myself.
“It was not easy for me in Libya, even now, several of our
girls are right now in prison, the innocent ones, while the culprits are
out there free. Several of them have even died; many did not survive
the gunshots when they were catching everybody. Some people were shot at
the scene, and some other died in prison yards. Many of my friends that
went to Libya with us have died.”
