Authorities in Egypt have returned 200 Nigerians to Sudan Egyptian authorities have ordered over 500 Nigerian students to return to Sudan...
Egyptian authorities have ordered over 500 Nigerian students to return to Sudan after discovering that two of them did not have passports or emergency travel documents (ETC).
In a voice message from a Nigerian official, which came into the hands of a Punch newspaper reporter on the morning of Friday, May 5, all students who do not have a Passport or ETC, were ordered to go back to where they came from.
The officer explained that the two students were short of patience, but if they all got the necessary steps, they just went ahead and joined the student group.
He added that currently the Egyptian authorities are angry with the lack of identification of the students and have ordered a delegation of over 500 Nigerians to return to Sudan and look for permits.
In the voicemail, the officer was heard saying:
"Our children have destroyed the efforts of the federal government to take them home by plane. We have sent every student who has a passport to Egypt, and the one who does not have one, we have told him to wait and we will provide him with an ETC."
“But due to impatience and haste, two of the students blindly joined the team and did not have Passports or ETC.
Now their secret has been revealed at Aswan airport and the Egyptian authorities are furious."
"This problem caused all of them to go back to Sudan. There were more than 500 people, but they all had to go back to Sudan and receive the proof of permission to leave the country and then receive the proof of permission to enter Egypt. They wasted 10 hours."
