Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, while condemning Poland for detaining Nigerians and other African students fleeing Ukraine, has said Nigerians being detained in Poland were forewarned of the consequence.
“There is no extra expenditure. With President Buhari ‘s directive and a govt team led by Geoffrey Onyeama, arrangements were made for ALL who wanted to return. Some stayed back and are now being kept in tortuous detention centres in Poland. They were warned,” Dabiri-Erewa tweeted.
On Thursday, Dabiri-Erewa had called for those detained to be released.
Her comments come after the Federal Government approved $8.5million for the evacuation of at least 5,000 Nigerians.
