committing offenses.

The United Kingdom has deported 36 Nigerians for allegedly committing numerous immigration offences in the country.
The deportees comprised 33 males and three females who had illegally resided in Dublin, Ireland and England for several years.
The deportees were brought back to Nigeria through a chartered
airplane, TITAN Airways, with flight number ZT9131 at the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
Most of the deportees wore sombre looks and complained that they
never committed serious offences in their host countries before they
were repatriated on Wednesday morning.
Some of the offences of the deportees include overstaying, visa expiration and lack of resident permits.
However, it was gathered that none of the deportees had criminal issues such as drug trafficking, stealing and fraud.
On arrival, the deportees, who were escorted back to Nigeria with
security operatives from United Kingdom, went through immigration
profiling.
On completion of the immigration processes, they were allowed
depart to their various destinations, but most of them were seen lurking
around the hajj and cargo terminal with their sack bag lurked under
their arms.
Just about a month ago, the US deported 34 Nigerians for various immigration and alleged criminal offences.
The deportees were returned aboard a chartered aircraft, Boeing 767 owned by Omni Air International.
The aircraft had touched down at the Lagos Airport at 14:35pm and
the deportees were immediately taken to the immigration area for proper
profiling.
Among the deportees were 32 males and two females with one of them having a serious health challenge.
