A NEW DIPLOMATIC ROW BETWEEN NIGERIA AND TURKEY

The Turkish government has deported about 50 Nigerian students from the University of Melikseh, a school owned by the alleged masterminds of the failed coup.
This act is capable of causing a diplomatic row between Nigeria and Turkey.
Rukkaya Usman, one of the Nigerian students
deported from the country, said the Turkish
government did not give a reason for the action.
Usman, a final year student of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Melikseh, told TheCable on Saturday that she arrived in Turkey
at 8am on September 26, but that she was detained at the airport for about 10 hours after which she was placed on a plane and flown back to Nigeria.
“As I got to the airport, at the immigration; they (immigration officers) collected my passport and resident permit. They started to ask me questions like: ‘what are you studying?’ ‘What’s your father’s name?’
They took my passport. This was on September 26. I asked what was happening. But they said they didn’t know, that it was a new law, that they were sending me back to my country,” Usman narrated.
