140 Nigerian Deportees Arrive From Libya by comfort3: 8:36pm On Apr 07, 2009
140 Nigerian deportees arrive from Libya

THE arrival of a large number of Nigerian deportees from Libya yesterday caused a stir at the Murtala Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the deportees, numbering about 140, arrived a few days after some illegal immigrants, including Nigerians, allegedly drowned off the Libyan coast enroute Europe.

The deportees, mostly young females, were conveyed to the MMIA aboard a chartered aircraft.

Shortly after they were screened and released, many airport workers and motorists swarmed them, asking questions about their fate in Libya.

As they trooped out of the Hajj and Cargo terminal, many of the deportees who were cash-strapped, sought assistance to get to their various destinations.

There was also a traffic snarl around the airport as motorists slowed down to watch the deportees.

Seven ladies among the deportees, who spoke in Yoruba, claimed that they were deported after spending five months in detention camps in Libya.

"Just thank God we are back to this country. Help us out," one of the ladies told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Some others, who loitered around the airport for hours, said that they were trying to connect those who would help them out of their travail. The deportees were allegedly sent packing for immigration offences.

The House of Representatives recently expressed concern at the large number of Nigerians in deportation camps in Libya, urging that steps be taken to ensure that they returned home.
