All the Nigerian students arrested by the Turkish authorities have been freed, the country’s ambassador to Nigeria, Hakan Cakil, said yesterday. The envoy, in a statement, said “regarding the news in the media about the detention of Nigerian students in Turkey, the embassy wishes to bring the following information to the attention of the esteemed Nigerian media.

“There are no Nigerian students under custody in Turkey”’, he said.

Cakil said the four Nigerians who were deported yesterday were not students, adding that they were arrested for entering the country illegally through the Turkish-Syrian border.
