Panic As Mass Deportation Of Nigerians In Germany Begins

As part of massive deportation plans by the German government, Nigerians illegally living in Germany will leave Frankfurt for Lagos on Tuesday, March 16, 2021,  the Network for Critical Migration Consciousness (NfCMC) has announced.

The upcoming charter deportation operation will be the first for this year since the initial plan for January 18 was cancelled owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.

A statement by the NFCMC noted that at a February meeting with the Nigerian Ambassador in Berlin, Ambassador Tugger informed the NGC president-led delegation of his engagement with the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 to address the situation of deportation and the risk of the Corona pandemic.

He further confirmed the Federal government’s position to refuse landing permits for deportation flights based on the collective responsibility to contain the coronavirus’s further spread.

Ambassador Tugger’s intervention arose from a November 2020 Zoom conference organised by the Nigerian Community (NGC München) with the Nigerian Ambassador as a guest.

Ambassador Tugger was commended for his commitment to interact with Nigerians throughout the online section.
