The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has announced the evacuation of 500 Nigerians stranded in United Arab Emirate, Dubai. In September, a viral video surfaced online in which some Nigerians were reportedly stranded at the Dubai International Airport and their passports seized.
Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, had said despite being warned, some Nigerians who were sent back from Dubai tried to circumvent the new visa rules of the United Arab Emirates.
Head of Press Unit, NEMA, Manzo Ezekiel, in an invitation preceding their arrival, said the evacuees were expected to arrive at the Hajj Terminal of General Aviation Terminal (GAT) private wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, in Max Air, on October 22, at about 7: 30am
