"About 500 Nigerians deported by the United Kingdom government Wednesday arrived at the Hajj and Cargo Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos at 8:07am local time aboard a large chartered aircraft.
......... A relative of one of the deportees who refused to have his name mentioned said that he came to receive his aged brother’s son who was running his Masters Degree programme in the United Kingdom.
He said that he was surprised when he heard that his elder brother’s son was one of those deported by the UK government adding that he had come to the airport to pick him up.
Asked why the student was one of those deported by the UK government, he said “I don’t know, I have never gone to the UK before. This (Nigeria) is where I have lived all my life. ..................."
Is "running" used properly in that sentence if he was a student?
