38 Nigerians deported from the United Kingdom arrived in Nigeria in the early hours of Thursday.
The deportees, who are mainly mothers and grandmothers, arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja with a Home Office charter flight.
It was gathered that some members of LGBTQ communities seeking asylum were among the deportees.
Some of the deportees claimed they have lived in the United Kingdom for many years.
However, the Nigeria Ministry of Foreign Affairs told British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, the deportation bothers on violation of immigration-related offences.
The deportees were later conveyed to yet-to-be ascertained locations.
