The rate at which Nigerians are deported from overseas is becoming alarming

The Spanish Government on Friday deported 11 Nigerians alleged to have committed various offences in the country.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that their deportation came less than 48 hours after United States deported 41 Nigerians for similar reasons.
NAN reports that the deportees, comprising 10 males and one female, arrived at the Hajj Camp area of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at 7:10pm.

They were received by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the Lagos Airport Police Command.
The spokesperson of the command, DSP Joseph Alabi, confirmed the deportation to NAN.
According to him, they were deported for allegedly committing immigration-related offences and other criminal acts in their host country.
