Some Nigerians travelling to Dubai have been denied entry at various United Arab Emirates (UAE) airports.
The UAE government, according to reports, has been very strict with Nigerians under 35 years entering the country in the last few weeks.
Due to the refusal of entry by the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), many young Nigerians have gone to social media to seek assistance.
In the images that surfaced on Internet, some victims were captured sleeping at the airports.
“I’m at Dubai international airport and myself and some tiger Nigerians with valid Visas are being held in a room hours after arriving with no explain and no information on what we can do. Please help me. There’s more than 20 of us,” one of the victims said while sharing a picture online.
However, the new development follows stiffer visa regulations introduced by United Arab Emirates (UAE) for Nigerians.
This was triggered by a recent public disturbance involving some Africans, most of whom were allegedly Nigerians in Dubai.
In a video that emerged last week, some African youths, believed to be Nigerian nationals, were seen fighting in a Dubai community and destroying public properties.
Though the UAE government did not state any specific reason for the new travel requirements of hotel reservation/place of stay in UAE, six-month bank statement, and return flight ticket, it was made to reduce the influx of persons with criminal intent into the country.
