317 People Deported To Osun Must Be Brought Back To Lagos, Says Falana

Human rights activist, Femi Falana has demanded that the 317 people deported from Lagos State to Osun State must be relocated to Lagos.

Last weekend, 317 Nigerian citizens of Osun State origin were rounded up in several parts of Lagos State and loaded into several luxury buses, which drove them to Osun State. 

Speaking on the illegal deportation of the 317 citizens, the Lagos State Police Command said that in keeping with its mandate of prevention and detection of crime, it conducts raids of black spots from time to time.

The Command added that it promptly arraigns only culpable suspects in courts of competent jurisdiction in the state after a thorough screening of the people raided.

Reacting to the deportation, Mr. Falana said the victims of what he labelled as the illegal deportation, have contradicted the account of the Lagos State Government. 

He said, according to them, they were abducted and forcefully loaded into several luxury buses and expelled from Lagos State without their consent.
