The IOM said they had expected 162 persons, but that 161 eventually turned up.

The Organisation explained to journalists that 161 Nigerians “had voluntarily agreed to be brought back to Nigeria.”

“No one deported them; they just agreed voluntarily to return to Nigeria based on the unfriendly conditions they found themselves in Libya,” said head of IOM Office in Lagos, Mr. Nahashan Thuo.

“We brought them back in liaison with the Nigerian Embassy in Libya and we will do everything possible to reunite them with their families. We are giving each of them 50 pounds which would be converted to naira to assist them financially,” he added.
