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.
