On Monday, a new batch of Nigerian migrants will be deported from Germany to Nigeria.
The migrants are expected to leave Frankfurt Airport at 8 am and
land in Nigeria’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport around 2 pm and
3 pm.
Although the number of migrants has not been ascertained, it was,
however, reported that migrants will be picked randomly from different
accommodation centres.
Last month two batches of Nigerians were sent back home from the European country.
“The flight will be from Frankfurt on Monday. For those who
have been given the information, the plane will take off by 8 am and
arrive in Nigeria between 2 pm and 3 pm.
“Those who will be deported will be picked randomly from their
different accommodation centres from 3 am till 5 am in different regions
and conveyed to a central place and finally to Frankfurt Airport,” the
Co-ordination Activist for Network Refugees 4Refugees, a political
platform for refugees/migrant self-organization based in Stuttgart,
Germany, Rex Osa, told The Nation.
Osa added, “When their asylum application is already expired, they are obligated to leave the country.
“For those who don’t leave voluntarily, they will be given a
what is I can translate in English to mean toleration status. This
status is not a resident title; it is to show that the person is still
there because the deportation is hindered because of one reason or the
other.
“These people are picked up early in the morning without expecting the police.
“Some would be picked up from work also. When the police arrive
in their rooms, they would be allowed to pack things not more than say 64 kilos. The police will be standing to make sure the person does not
escape.”
