FG receives 103 Nigerians deported from Turkey on various issues


 The Federal Government has received at least 103 Nigerians deported from Turkey over migration related issues.

 

Some of the issues were expired visas, irregular migration, among others.

 

Alhaji Tijani Ahmed, the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, NCFRMI stated this on Friday during the deportees’ profiling in Abuja.

 

Represented by Amb. Catherine Udida, the Director Migration Affairs in the commission, Ahmed said that the commission expected 110 deportees but received 103, all males.

 

“Some of them have been in the deportation camp for some months, and now that they are here, we are hoping to follow up on all the allegations gathered in their profiling.

 

“We will go through the profiling forms, because some of them have said that their passports were seized.

 

“We are going to follow up with the Turkish authority, because the passports are still the property of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he assured.

 

According to him, the NCFRMI is the mandate agency responsible for all returnees, irrespective of their status.

 

“We equally have a programme where we train them and thereafter reintegrate them into the society”, the Federal Commissioner stated.
