103 Nigerians deported from Turkey arrive at Abuja Airport
About 103 Nigerians who were deported from the Republic of Turkey arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, on Friday evening, June 28.
It was gathered that they arrived at the pilgrims’ wing of the airport at about 6:45 pm on the Southwind Airlines flight with registration number TC-GRB.
According to report, they were received by multiple agencies of government like the NEMA, NSCDC, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) as well as those of the military.

It is unclear whether they committed any offence in Turkey to warrant their deportation. The angry deportees narrated their treatment, alleging they were unfairly treated in the European country.
According to them, they were detained by the Turkish authorities for over 11 months before being deported. They therefore called on the Nigeria government to fight for them and reclaim all their valuables.
