Six Nigerians have been deported from the United States of America, having been charged with various crimes in the country.
Sources connected to the matter said their deportation was in connection with a decision by the US government to deport at least 3,000 Nigerians, who had been involved in various crimes in the country.
The deportees arrived on Wednesday via a Delta Airlines flight, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, just before 9 am.
They were received by officials of different Nigerian government agencies who would decide the next line of action.
Under the Donald Trump administration, the US government intends to carry out more deportations, in line with its policy of streamlining migration in the country.
