They arrived at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport (MMlA), Lagos at
about 8.40 p.m last night
The deportees, who are all male, were
brought back with a chartered Hifly
aircraft with registration number CS-
TQW, amidst tight security.
Alhaji Muhammad Sani Sidi, the
Director-General, National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA), confirmed
the development.
He said 33 of the deportees were from
Italy, while the other seven and another
three were deported from Germany and
Italy, respectively.
Sidi, represented by Dr Onimode
Bandele, the Deputy Director, Search and
Rescue, NEMA, said NEMA and other
sister agencies were at the airport to
receive the deportees.
"They were deported for committing
various offences in their host
countries and as you can see, our
agencies are here to do the needful.
"As a responsible government, we
cannot just leave our citizens to enter
the country without giving them a
good welcome and assisting them to
get back to their families," he said.
Sidi advised Nigerians to stay in the
country and develop it together.
He said some stipends would be given to
the deportees to facilitate their
transportation to their various
destinations.

the airport to receive the deportees
included the National Agency for the
Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency,
