UK deports another 35 Nigerians
Less than two months ago when it deported 23 Nigerians for committing immigration-related offences, the United Kingdom on Wednesday deported another 35 Nigerians for similar reasons.
The deportees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMlA) Lagos at about 5.50a.m.
The deportees, comprising 30 males and five females, were brought back aboard a chartered Titanic Airways aircraft with registration Number: G-POWO.

The spokesman of the Lagos Airport Police Command, Joseph Alabi, confirmed the development to newsmen.
The deportees were received by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and the Police.
Also on ground to receive them were officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
The deportees were profiled by the immigration authorities and were each given a stipend to facilitate their transportation to their respective states.
