Over 100 Nigerians Deported From Turkey Arrive At Abuja Airport

103 Nigerian citizens reportedly arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, on Friday, June 28, 2024.

The citizens were deported from the Republic of Turkey and arrived on a Southwind Airlines flight with registration number TC-GRB.

They are said to have arrived at the pilgrims’ wing of the airport at approximately 6:45 pm via the Southwind Airlines flight.

Upon their arrival, they were greeted by various government agencies such as 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.

However, it remains uncertain whether they had committed any offences in Turkey that led to their deportation.

The disgruntled deportees recounted their experiences, claiming they were treated unfairly in the European country.

According to their accounts, they were held in detention by the Turkish authorities for over 11 months before being deported.

As a result, they urged the Nigerian government to advocate for them and recover their belongings
