Fifty-eight Nigerians deported from Khartoum, Sudan were flown back home on Wednesday through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, aboard an Air Libya flight.
A source at the Nigeria Immigration Service told the News Agency of Nigeria that the deportees comprised eight males, 41 females and nine minors.
The source, who spoke under anonymity, said the deportees were escorted back to Nigeria by five Sudanese policemen.
He added that the Nigerians were sent home for offences ranging from overstaying in the country, possession of irregular travel documents and involvement in crime.
The source said the deportees had been released to their families.
It was gathered that some of the deportees were also involved in street begging.
NAN reports that 85 Nigerians had earlier been deported from the United Kingdom on March 12; 58 others from Dublin, Republic of Ireland on February 15; and 28 from Trinidad and Tobago on March 19.
