Sudan Denies Nigerians Entry Over Ebola Fears

Hauwa’u Ibrahim Bakori, a second year student of Pharmacy at Al Ahfad University for Women, Omdurman, confirmed that she and 25 others were denied entry after arriving Khartoum Airport on December 10, 2014, Wednesday.

She said they were detained, and then deported to Nigeria on Thursday, despite the fact that she was in her second year at the Sudanese university and had travelled to Nigeria on holidays.

It was gathered that the Nigerians travelled to Khartoum through an Ethiopian Airline flight ET 910 from Abuja on Wednesday, through Addis Ababa, but on arrival in Khartoum, the Sudanese authorities seized their passports, and arranged boarding passes for them to return to Nigeria immediately.

Ms. Bakori said they were sent back to Nigeria via the same Ethiopian Airline on Thursday even while they were not tested for Ebola.

The Sudanese government and the Nigerian foreign ministry could not be reached for comments on the issue.

Hehe,Sudan?
