Forty-one Nigerians were yesterday deported from the United States of America (USA), through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos for various offences.
All the 41 deportees were male.
This deportation is coming barely one week after 162 Nigerians voluntarily returned from Libya to Nigeria due to their inability to cross to Europe.
It was also gathered that some of the deportees were also returned to the country for criminal offences.
The aircraft that brought back the deportees, Miami Air International with the registration number N733MA, touched down at the airport at exactly 12:20 local time.
Nine of the deportees were repatriated into Nigeria for drug related offence, 26 for police case while the other six were returned for immigration offences.
Those with criminal offences were held by the respective agencies while those with immigration offences were released to go to their various destinations after going through profiling by the Nigerian Immigration Service.
