“Mauritius refused our visa after we arrived. Everyone is kicking Nigerians out of their country,” he lamented.
The man claimed they were separated for questioning and allegedly treated like criminals despite completing all the necessary preparations for the trip.
He further revealed that he had a hotel reservation, a yellow card, proof of funds and other required travel documents but he was still reportedly denied entry because he is a Nigerian.
“I have already booked my hotel, a 5-star hotel, a tourist reservation center, three places. I have a yellow card, I have everything, even the required cash. They deported us just because we are Nigerians,” he added.
