Nigerian Official Issued With Wrong Visa By Turkish Cons. In Abuja Demands N50M. by mrkunlex(m): 6:59am On Feb 18, 2018
A top official of Federal Capital Territory
Administration, Dr. (Mrs.) Kehinde Catherine Ilupeju is
demanding the sum of N50 million from the Embassy
of Turkey in Nigeria for issuing her a wrong visa. The
civil servant made the demand in a petition to the
Ambassador of Turkey in Nigeria written on her
behalf by her solicitors, Forthright Chambers on
January 2 2017.
In the petition titled, “Violation Of Dr. (Mrs) Catherine
Kehinde Ilupeju’s Fundamental Human Right To
Freedom Of Movement, Liberty And The Dignity Of
Her Human Person: Demand For The Payment Of The
Sum Of N50,000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) As
Compensation For Her Financial Loss, Harassment,
False Imprisonment, Maltreatment And Deportation
By The Turkish And Cypriot Authorities On Account Of
The Failure Of The Officials Of The Turkish Embassy In
Nigeria To Observe The Expected Duty Of Care Owed
Her,” the petitioner narrated how she was given a
wrong visa which led to her detention and eventual
deportation from Cypriot by security operatives when
she presented it at Ercan International Airport, Nicose
on December 24 2017.
While narrating the circumstances that led to the
unpleasant journey, Dr. Ilupeju, recalled that she had
on 15 December 2017 applied for a visa at Turkish
Embassy in Nigeria to visit her son who was studying
at European University, Cyprus. She said she got the
visa on December 20 2017 and thus, embarked on
the trip to Turkey from Abuja on a few days later.
Turkish Embassy
However, she was arrested on arrival at Ercan
International Airport by security operatives who
alleged she did not have the necessary documents to
enter that part of Cyprus.
Dr Ilupeju alleged that she was kept in detention
from about 4 pm on December 24 2017, to about 9
am of the following day when she was escorted by
security operatives to Istanbul where she was kept in
another detention facility until about 9 pm of the
Christmas Day and deported to Nigeria.
The civil servant lamented that she was treated as an
illegal immigrant and subjected to the indignity of
detention, harassment, untold embarrassment and
eventual loss of huge financial resources despite the
fact that she paid the sum of $400 in cash at the
Turkish Embassy in Nigeria.
The officials of Turkish Embassy were aware that our
client was traveling to the European University of
Cyprus for which she was charged $400 as
processing fee which she paid in cash.
“From the documents she submitted, the Embassy
officials ought to have known they did not possess
the authority to issue her a visa that would be
respected in that part of Cyprus where the said
university is located. This, our client considers as a
serious breach of a duty of care owed to her by the
Turkish Embassy in Nigeria,” solicitors to the FCTA
official said in making the demand for the N50 million
compensation.
The petitioner’s lawyers threatened to take legal
action against the Embassy if the demand of their
client for compensation was not acceded to.
A copy the petition was also sent to the Federal
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
