About 262 more Nigerians were on Wednesday deported from Libya, in a collaborative effort by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Nigerian Embassy in Libya, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

According to NAN, the returnees arrived aboard a chartered Libyan Airlines aircraft with registration number 5A-LAR, which landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at 10p.m.

The deportees, made up of 108 males, 135 females, eight children and 11 infants, were said to have been stranded in the North African nation.

They were received by officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and the Police.
