After a two months charter deportation stop, a new batch of thirty persons (30) were on thursday deported and abandoned on the street of Lagos. The deportation operation was spontaneously organised to make up for the last minute cancellation of an initially scheduled deportation operation of the previous day. Germany as the usual host was directly responsible for the enforcement of twenty-six (26) deportation while Italy and Poland collaborated with the enforcement of two (2) deportation respectively. see video
According to the statements from the deported persons, the cancellation of the initially scheduled deportation operation on wednessday was effected by a technical failure detected on the runway, shortly before take-off.
As the aircraft was returned back to its parking space at the Tarmac, the deportees were compelled to remain sitted onboard while the technical crew were engaging to fix the problem alongside making alternative arrangements to further facilitate the deportation enforecement.
After about seven traumatic hours experieces with racist intimidation, mockery as well as physical violence for anyone who dared to question or resist the deportation abuses onboard, the would be deportees were then allowed to disembark from the Aircraft with massive police presence and afterwards conveyed to the respective detention centers. Some of them were summoned before a Judge for a pronouncement of their continued stay in deportation custody.
The deportees arrived shortly before 22 hours onboard a Privilege Style deportation machine and were recieved and profiled by officers of the nigerian Immigration Service in the presence other security agencies at the cargo section of the lagos international Airport. The deportees were afterwards conveyed in an Airport shuttle Buses to be abandoned and left stranded outside the lonely cargo airport gate along the International airport road.
Its alarming to experience Germanys continued act of deportation violence on the one hand, and the Nigerian governments lack of concern for deported nigerians even in this height of insecurity in the country today.
