The Nigerian Presidency has frowned at the reported inhuman and discriminatory treatments of Nigerians and other citizens of African countries, who were denied the right of passage out of Ukraine.
Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s spokesman in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said all citizens should be treated with dignity irrespective of the colour of their passports or their skin.
”From video evidence, first-hand reports, and from those in contact with their wards and/or Nigerian consular officials, there have been unfortunate reports of Ukrainian police and security personnel refusing to allow Nigerians to board buses and trains heading towards the Ukraine-Poland border.
”In one video widely circulating on social media, a Nigerian mother with her young baby was filmed being physically forced to give up her seat to another person.
