About 500 Nigerians have arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Wednesday morning on a chartered flight from London, BBC reported.
One of the deportees told the Publication that he was arrested by British police and was not allowed to even take his belongings before being deported.
Some claimed they don't have relatives in Nigeria and will remain in the airport stranded.
Recently, Nigeria expressed concern over UK's plan to deport 29,000 Nigerians, and has insisted that due process be followed before Nigerians are removed from the UK. Added that Britain must ensure that those been deported are really its citizens, medically fit to travel and have a role to play in the country - meaning they should be able to fit into Nigerian society.
