103 Nigerian citizens reportedly arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, on Friday, June 28, 2024.
Naija News reports that 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.
Trump Vows To Start Largest Deportation Operation In American History If Re-Elected
Meanwhile, the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, has declared his intention to undertake the most massive deportation operation in American history if re-elected for a second term.
Speaking at the People’s Convention of Turning Point Action in Michigan, Trump faulted President Joe Biden’s administration’s decision to allow thousands of radical Islamic terrorists into the US.
Trump stated: “The choice for every voter in November is clear: You can have a President who lets thousands of radical Islamic terrorists into our country or you can decide to have a President who throws radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our Country.
“On Day One of my new administration, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history. We have no choice, this is not sustainable.”
Trump clarified that his stance doesn’t target those who entered the country legally.
“We welcome people to come here, but they must do so through legal channels. Upon arrival, they need to undergo thorough vetting,” he added.
Trump emphasized that the significant influx of illegal migrants deprives US citizens of job opportunities and poses security risks, citing concerns that many undocumented immigrants have a history of incarceration in prisons and mental institutions.
Trump also vowed to address issues surrounding Ukraine’s President, Zelenskyy getting $60 billion from US.
The US Presidential Election will be held on November 5, 2024.
