The chairman, via her Twitter handle, @abikedabiri, on Friday said arrangement were made for all Nigerians who wanted to return home.

She wrote, “There is no extra expenditure. With @MBuhari’s directive and a govt team led by @GeoffreyOnyeama, arrangements were made for ALL who wanted to return.

“Some stayed back and are now being kept in tortuous detention centers in Poland.They were warned.”

She urged the Poland government to depot the affected persons to Nigeria rather than keep them in detention.

“But the right thing for the country to do is deport them than keep them in detention centers, though they were warned of the consequences,” she added.
