Why We Deported Nigerians – Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has issued a statement clarifying the reasons behind the deportation of Nigerians from their country.
Recall that 264 individuals were informed upon their arrival at the King Abdulaziz International Airport, Hajj Terminal Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Monday, 13th November, 2023, that their visas had been revoked.
The Nigerian government has urged its citizens to remain calm in response to the deportations.
Recently, on Wednesday, the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Abuja provided further explanation on the matter.
“The passengers who were denied entry and subsequently deported to their initial destinations didn’t fulfill the entry conditions and requirements in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Kingdom,” a statement from the embassy said.
It added: “The deportees submitted incorrect information to obtain a category of visa that doesn’t apply to them, which was discovered upon their arrival.
“The Royal Embassy would like to stress the importance of following the procedures and laws enacted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for all visitors.
“Furthermore, all passengers should review all the documents to determine their conformity with the conditions prior to departing from their countries to the Kingdom.
“This procedure was not limited to Nigerian citizens only, but rather to citizens of other countries.”
