House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs has summoned
Mr. Gbenga Ashiru, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to appear before it
tomorrow to explain the circumstances leading to the detention for 2 days without food, water and
deportation of some Nigerians by the Egyptian authorities. It would be recalled that three Nigerians with
valid visas were
denied entry into Cairo by the Egyptian authorities without reason and detained for two (2)days without food, water or bed to sleep after which they deported back to Nigeria..
Chairman of the Committee, Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje (PDP-Abia), who
disclosed this, weekend, said the committee was disturbed by the shabby
treatment meted to Nigerian citizens, especially by African countries.
According to her, the latest deportation of Nigerians by the Egyptian
authorities was another height of insult and indignation to Nigerians.
Too Sad if they have valid visas and were deported, i hope the Nigerian Government will do something back in return.
Share your thoughts...Thanks!
