US to drop Nigeria deportees in Lagos – Envoy
The United States envoy to Nigeria, Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills Jr. has disclosed that Nigerian deportees would be dropped in Lagos.
Mills Jr. also explained that convicted prisoners would be among the first set of Nigerian deportees.
He spoke during an audience with Nigeria Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu.
The envoy said: “Those to be repatriated would be dropped in Lagos. There wouldn’t be room for whether it should be in Port Harcourt or Abuja.
“The first group will be convicted prisoners. Those who committed crimes and are in US prisons. Some of them are those who have clearly violated US immigration laws. They appealed but were denied yet they are still in the US. They have committed immigration crime, people who have been ordered to leave.”
