The chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has reacted to a viral video of stranded Nigerian immigrants in Dubai who were allegedly chased into the desert.

A Nigerian in Dubai made the video claiming they have been forcefully chased out to the desert; thereby, appealing to the federal government of Nigeria to look into their plea for rescue.

Reacting on her Twitter page, Abike Dabiri-Erewa clarified that the allegation was wrong as the UAE had on different occasions arranged for the immigrants to return to Nigeria, but some have refused to take the opportunity.

“UAE given illegal migrants March 1 to leave Extended till Aug 17 And UAE even gave 3 free flights . They’ve been returning (179 came in yesterday free of charge )but some still bent on hiding and breaking the laws. You shouldn’t stay illegally anywhere

That video was five days ago. Once they realize they can get free flights, they go calling themselves to go sleep in front of the mission The illegal ones are affecting the legal ones negatively with such behavior . Pls let’s obey laws of other countries,” she tweeted

KanyiDaiky had reported how Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, paid the hospital expenses of a stranded Nigerian couple who gave birth to quadruplets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
