Illegal Immigrants! Saudi Arabia Deports 198 Nigerians

At least 198 Nigerians who have been living illegally in Saudi Arabia have returned home after the Saudi government threatened to expel undocumented workers and illegal immigrants.

The Nigerians arrived at the Aminu Kanu International Airport on Saturday morning and were received by officials of the National Emergency Management Agency.

It was gathered that they had avoided sanctions by returning home voluntarily under a 90-day amnesty offered by the Saudi Arabian government.
