“A policeman asked me what I want since I did not have any criminal record to warrant my deportation.
“I said I wanted to work and live a normal life in Finland, so he (policeman) told me to seek asylum and I did that.
“I was taken to the asylum camp and was there for more than a year processing my work documents.
“There were other African nationals there with four Nigerians. Suddenly, we, the Nigerians were brought out and deported without any reason’’, he said.
“The Nigerian Embassy in Finland refused to come to my aid, even after I paid 1,500 euros to embassy officials’’, he alleged.
