According to authorities in Nigeria, the deportees, who are mainly mothers and grandmothers, arrived the Murtala Muhammed international Airport, Ikeja.
They arrived in Lagos early this morning with one Home Office charter flight.
It was gathered that some members of LGBTQ communities seeking asylum were among the deportees.

However, the Nigeria Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Britush Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, the deportation bothers on violation of immigration-related offences.
