At least 50 Nigerian students studying in Turkey were arrested in
Istanbul and detained for 11 hours on alleged order of the Turkish
government following the July 15th failed military coup in the country.
Most of the detained Nigerians, mainly students of Fathi University and
Meliksah University were made to sign deportation documents. Narrating
her ordeal in a telephone call from THISDAY, one of the Nigerian
students deported, Rukkaya Usman, said they were treated like criminals
before the Turkish authorities repatriated them back to Nigeria.
