Not Again! UK deports 76 Nigerians

At least 76 Nigerians were deported on Wednesday by the United Kingdom government over immigration and other offences.
The Europe Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the Head of Immigration Unit in the Nigerian High Commission in the UK, Mr. Mohammed Isa, as saying that the deportees included those who had completed their prison terms and failed asylum seekers. 
The Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK, Dr. Dalhatu Tafida, who also spoke on the development, said it was not true that the Nigerian officials were collaborating with the British government to unfairly deport Nigerians.  
``The British government is the one that decides whether these people can continue to stay in the UK or not. We only assist when they decide to go home or when a decision has been made by the authority to deport them.    
``Our job includes verifying that those being deported are bonafide Nigerians, and not citizens of other countries and that they are fairly and humanely treated on their flight back home, “he said.
