The Libyan Government Friday deported 172 Nigerians over several immigration irregularities.
The deportees arrived the hajj camp area of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport around 7:00am comprising 166 males and six females.
The Public Relations Officer, Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Mr. Ekpedeme King confirmed the deportation with our correspondent on phone, but could not give the registration number of the aircraft that brought them into the country.
The deportees our correspondent gathered were repatriated into the country with chartered aircraft from Libya.
The returnees were received by various agencies such as Immigration that checked their identities to ascertain their nationalities, Police, National Agency for Protection and Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, and other relevant stakeholders.
As at the time of filing this report, the returnees had moved away from the Lagos Airport to their various destinations.
King told our correspondent that the deportees were returned to the country for overstaying their visas in Libya and other immigration offences in the North African country.
He said, “What I can tell you is that some Nigerians were deported today (yesterday) for immigration offences. Most of those brought overstayed Libya.
One of the deportees, who simply identified himself as Chris claimed that he travelled out of Nigeria about two years ago in search of greener pastures.
He however insisted that he didn’t commit any crime in Libya that would warrant his deportation back to Nigeria.
Last November, about 76 Nigerians were deported from three European countries including United Kingdom.

Anyway, i don't blame those who rather stay in a war torn country than to come back to Nigeria, Because Nigeria is war itself.
From hike in electricity tariff to no electricity, from no electricity to scarcity of fuel to even power your Gen set.

Europe is just across the border/sea.Plus...the lawless situation makes the crossing to Europe easier. The catch is you have to pay hefty money to secure a place on the boats...and thus many stay in Libya doing lots of odd jobs,most often illegally, until they can get enough cash to cross over. That's why.

Welcome back! There is no place like home.

Everything is free in Libya ... Welcome to where you will have to work for 2 days to buy a cup of Garri

What were they doing there in the first place?

Libya died immediately after Gadafi was murdered.

Hmmm

people just feel every soil outside Nigeria is more fertile. Like hey say, the grass appears greener on the other side.

However, I think if people put as much energy as they apply to their hustle outside Nigeria to the work they do here, they will make more money and success!
