Osa disclosed this in a conversation with the Nation against the backdrop of the recent reports that migrants have already been airlifted from Frankfurt Airport to Nigeria’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport.
The NR4Refugees, a political platform for refugees and migrant self-organisation based in Stuttgart, Germany, reported that most of the deported migrants are sick people.
Osa said, " The migrats' plane will take off by 8 a.m. and arrive in Nigeria between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m on Monday.
“Those deported were picked randomly from their different accommodation centres from 3 a.m. till 5 a.m. in different regions and conveyed to a central place and finally to Frankfurt Airport,”
“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.”
Osa therefore charged the government to be prepared to receive the victims, noting that many of them will be arriving with a myriad of challenges.
