The German government has deported a new batch of Nigerian migrants, less than 48 hours after the attack on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, by the Indigenous People of Biafra.
According to reports, the migrants left Frankfurt Airport at 8 a.m. and were expected to land in Nigeria at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos between 2 pm and 3 pm.
The number of migrants deported was not ascertained as at the time of this report. However, it was gathered that they were picked randomly from different accommodation centres.
The migrants are obligated to leave the country once their asylum application is expired. For those who don’t leave voluntarily, they will be given what will be considered a Toleration Status.
This status is not a resident title, but to show that the person is still there because the deportation is hindered due to one reason or the other.
In July, two batches of Nigerians were sent back home from the European country.
The Nigerian government has been urged to aid the victims as many of them are coming with a myriad of illnesses and psychological problems.
