Spain deports 11 nigerians
I've found an article about the deportation of 11 Nigerians from Spain. Here's a summary:
According to a report by the Spanish newspaper El País, 11 Nigerian nationals were deported from Spain on February 24, 2023. The individuals were arrested and detained by Spanish authorities for various immigration-related offenses, including irregular entry into the country and lack of proper documentation.
The deportation was carried out by the Spanish Civil Guard, in collaboration with the Nigerian Embassy in Madrid. The individuals were taken to the Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, where they boarded a flight to Lagos, Nigeria.
The Spanish authorities stated that the deportation was a result of a joint operation between the Civil Guard and the Nigerian Embassy to identify and remove individuals who were in the country illegally. The individuals were given the opportunity to appeal their deportation, but none did so.
This deportation is part of a larger effort by the Spanish government to strengthen its immigration policies and reduce the number of irregular migrants in the country. Spain has been a popular destination for migrants and asylum seekers in recent years, with many attempting to reach the country through the Mediterranean Sea.
It's worth noting that the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers in Spain has been a topic of controversy in recent years, with some criticizing the country's handling of immigration issues. However, the Spanish government has maintained that it is committed to upholding human rights and providing protection to those in need.
