According to a relative of one of the detained students, the passports of those affected were confiscated.
“Upon arrival at Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, they were all escorted to a room and their passport confiscated by Turkish police,” the relative was quoted as saying.
“When they enquired why they were clamped in a dirty room, the police said they are students of a terrorist organisation. They offered to transfer them to government schools but on the condition that we will pay same fees as private universities.”
Most of the detained Nigerians are said to be students of Fatih University, one of the private institutions in Turkey.
The Fathi University is among the 2099 schools, dormitories and universities shut down in the wake of the July 15 failed coup in the country.
