27 Nigerians deported from Spain for criminal offences, handed over to the Nigerian Police



No fewer than Twenty-Seven Nigerians  who were deported from Spain for alleged criminal offences ranging from armed robbery, drug trafficking, forgery to illegal migration, have been handed over to the police.

A statement by the Force deputy spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, yesterday said the deportees were received at the international wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

The statement added that the deportees who arrived aboard a chartered Spanish Airline flight were received at the airport at 07:30 am on the said date by officers from the INTERPOL National Central Bureau, Lagos.

Mba, however, stated that after thorough investigation by a combined team of officers from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the police, the State Security Service (SSS) and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), 14 of the deportees were found not culpable for the alleged offences for which they were deported by the Spanish authorities.

According to the police, the 14 persons had since been released to their relatives on bail while the 13 liable ones had been sent to the relevant security agencies for further investigation and prosecution.
