Xinhua, June 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

Eleven Nigerians who were deported from Spain over immigration-related offences and other criminal acts arrived Lagos, Nigeria's economic hub on Friday, a police spokesman said.

Joseph Alabi, spokesman of the Lagos Airport Command of the Nigerian police, told Xinhua the deportees included 10 men and a woman.

Upon arrival, they were received by officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the police.

Their deportation came less than 48 hours after 41 Nigerians were repatriated from the United States of America for similar offences.

On May 25, the United Kingdom and Australia, also, jointly deported 40 Nigerians alleged to have committed various offences in both countries. Endit
