The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) says over 7,000 nationals, including Nigerians, were not allowed to cross the border into Egypt since their arrival on Thursday evening from war-torn Sudan.
The NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made the disclosure via a statement issued by the commission’s spokesperson, Gabriel Odu, on Friday, April 28.
Dabiri-Erewa called on those concerned with passage and movement of persons and services along the borders of Sudan to create a humane condition for them to have access to their various destinations.

The chairman also said the Nigerian mission in Egypt had been working on the issue, noting that the Egyptian authorities were insisting on visas by Africans to transit to their countries.
She, however, appealed to the Egyptian authorities to allow the travellers to transit to their final destinations in various countries in Africa.
The crisis in Sudan started on April 15 between the Sudanese army and paramilitary RSF, both headed by army generals.
