The deportees arrived at the airport’s pilgrims wing around 6:45 pm on a Southwind Airlines flight with registration number TC-GRB. They were received by several government agencies, including the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), and military personnel.
The reasons for their deportation are still unclear. The deportees expressed their grievances, claiming they were treated unfairly in Turkey. They reported being detained by Turkish authorities for over 11 months before being sent back to Nigeria.
They are urging the Nigerian government to advocate for them and help recover their lost valuables.
