Tacha Calls Out Dubai Officials

KanyiDaily recalls that a Twitter user, @dunchichi had raised an alarm on social media that they were being detained at the Dubai airport and their passports were seized.

The lady shared a video from the airport which shows Nigerians demanding answers from the Dubai authorities after their passports were seized without explanation.

@dunchichi said her passport was later released through the help of her sister who picked her up from immigration after a “tedious process” but other Nigerians who didn’t have anyone in the country were not released.

In a post shared on her Twitter page on Thursday, Tacha confined that Dubai officials are sending Nigerians back to their country even with their valid visas.

The reality star recounted her experience at the Dubai airport, lamenting that Nigerians are being humiliated outside the country and forced to pay N31,000 for unknown reasons.

Tacha wrote: “Dubai is really sending Nigerians back to Nigeria even with their valid visas!!! And ontop of that when you reach Nigeria!! You’ll be paying an additional fee of N31,000 for whatever reason I don’t even know!!!!

“I can’t even believe after spending those long hours in transit!! After paying and getting your VISA!! Buying ticket too!! Making Dubai plans And you’ll just be sent back like that!!! Gosh The humiliation Nigerians face outside Nigeria ehn!! It is just dispiriting.”

KanyiDaily had also reported that Nigerians living in Dubai are being forced to leave United Arab Emirates (UAE) as their work permits were not renewed by authorities in the oil-rich Middle East country.
