Nigerian Footballers In Indian Prison Cry Out To Federal Government For Help by Kingsmeal: 11:53am On Dec 22, 2018 |
Some Nigerian youths in India who claim to be professional footballers said they have been in jail for over two years for overstaying their visas. In a video posted on Facebook on Friday, December 21, the footballers pleaded to the Nigerian government and Nigerians generally to come to their rescue. It is not particularly clear whom the distraught footballers were addressing in the video to come to their aid. But with the constant repetition of ‘please ma’, they may be directly pleading to Abike Dabiri, the senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on foreign relations and diaspora. Their spokesperson in the video said they are more than ten and have been asked to provide money for their tickets to be deported back to Nigeria. They, however, lamented that they had no money to pay for the tickets. They claimed that the Nigerian Embassy in India is aware of their plights but had not done anything to rescue them from the prison. The video is transcribed below: “Please ma, we need of Nigerians to help us. We have been in jail for two years for ordinary overstay in Kolkata in India. Please ma, we need the help of Nigeria. The embassy has been here two times nothing has been done.Watch The Touching Video Source: https://zenithnaija.com/nigerian-footballers-in-indian-prison-cry-out-to-fg-for-help/ cc: lalasticlala dominique Mynd44
