A declaration by means of the NFCMC mentioned that at a February assembly with the Nigerian Ambassador in Berlin, Ambassador Tugger knowledgeable the NGC president-led delegation of his engagement with the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 to cope with the state of affairs of deportation and the danger of the Corona pandemic.

He in addition confirmed the Federal government's role to refuse landing allows for deportation flights based totally on the collective duty to comprise the coronavirus's further unfold.

Ambassador Tugger's intervention arose from a November 2020 Zoom conference organised with the aid of the Nigerian Community (NGC München) with the Nigerian Ambassador as a visitor.

Ambassador Tugger become counseled for his commitment to engage with Nigerians all through the online phase.

His interest become interested in the continuing deportation collaboration, ignoring Germany's position as a chief Corona hotspot (Germany exporting Corona to Nigeria) – in particular at a time when the united states remains seeking to cope with the continuing economic trouble from the Corona lockdown, bad governance and subsequent incidents like lack of confidence and insurgency, corruption, non secular and ethnic conflicts, #EndSARS #RestructureNigeriaNow revolution and many others.

The organization entreated people who aren't too sure of their residential popularity, in any other case with so-referred to as Duldung Status (Tolerated/Obligated to leave the us of a), to touch their lawyers or their asylum counselling centres.

"Please be aware that arrest is ongoing primarily based on provisions of the German Foreigners Law which legitimates preserving so-known as tolerated people in deportation custody to assure their availability for a deliberate deportation enforcement flight.

"We could categorically like to draw the eye of people who're in the interim participating within the German so-referred to as Voluntary Returns Program – a task of the racist "Perspective Heimat Program" supposed to coerce asylum seekers to volunteer for their self-deportation.

"Experiences have demonstrated that such men and women may be used to replenish spaces in scheduled chartered deportation flights because their passports are in possession of the overseas officials.

"An obvious eyeopener was the December 10, 2020 deportation enforcement. Two younger Nigerians, who had trusted and were actively cooperative in the Voluntary Return Program, have been brutally deported to Nigeria.

"That deportation prevalence exposes greater realities of the German Voluntary Returns Program as a farce. Further research of the problem has proven that the respective Foreign Officers had been receiving recurring updates on their energetic and cooperative engagement inside the education courses. A worse scenario is that the respective Foreign Officers were mendacity even three days earlier than the deportation enforcement. They appeared for the covid-19 check unknowing that this became supposed to prepare them for the subsequent deportation flight schedule.

"After the scandalous and inhuman deportation prevalence, correspondences with the deportation accountable, authorities confirm the truth that the so-called Voluntary Return program stays best as a proposal and not using a binding regulation to droop deportation until the a hit completion of the Voluntary Returns Preparatory training. Such wasted costs are borne out of taxpayers budget."
