Twenty-two persons deported from Spain arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) on Friday, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
They arrived the airport at about 3.30 p.m. in company of some law enforcement agents from Spain.
A source from the Nigeria Immigration Service, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed that there were six males while the remaining were females.
The deportees were sent packing by the Spanish authorities for immigration-related offences ranging from illegal entry, expired visas and fake travelling documents.
The deportees were received at the airport by immigration officials and other law -enforcement agents.
Some of the deportees, who had no criminal records, were allowed to go home while those found wanting were kept for further interrogation.
NAN learnt that another batch of deportees is expected from the Netherlands next week.
