NIDCOM demands due process for 42 Nigerians detained in Mozambique

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has called on the Mozambican authorities to ensure due process for 42 Nigerians reportedly detained in the country, demanding official clarification on the reasons for their arrest.

In a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the Commission’s spokesman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NIDCOM said the Mozambican National Criminal Investigation Service had denied detaining other nationals apart from the 42 Nigerians but had yet to officially communicate the circumstances surrounding their detention.

The Commission expressed concern that the Nigerian High Commission in Mozambique had not been formally notified about the arrests, despite reports that the detainees were allegedly held for staying illegally in the country.

Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said the commission had received several distress calls from relatives of the detained Nigerians, who were worried about their well-being.

“Their families have been reaching out with distress calls and are worried about the condition of their spouses,” Dabiri-Erewa said.

She further alleged that the detainees’ personal belongings, including mobile phones and money, were confiscated at the time of their arrest.

“They confiscated their cell phones, personal belongings and money with them at the time of arrest. The Embassy has written to their Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the office of the Attorney General,” she added.

Dabiri-Erewa urged Mozambican authorities to either formally charge the Nigerians to court if they had committed any offence or release them immediately.

She stressed that the Nigerian government does not condone criminal activities by its citizens abroad but insisted that no Nigerian should be detained without being informed of the offence allegedly committed.

According to her, “If indeed the Nigerians committed any offence, the authorities should formally charge them to a court of law, make the offence public or set them free as against illegally detaining them.”

The Commission also released the names of the detained Nigerians, including Augustine Okeke, Maximus Anayo, Okechukwu Eche, Anaerobi Martins, Stephen Okongwe, Onwujewe Raymond, Chukwunazorom John, Aginam David, Collins Uzoewulu, Okonkwo Johnpaul, Onwunyili Chukwuemeka, Ugochukwu Ezechiedum, Nnamdi Okechukwu, Celestine Okalu, Goodluck Ephrain, Ebuka Pablo, Chukwuemeka Ugwu, Cislouyindika Ezeifeoma, Chinedu Igwilo, Ideh Ezinwa, Ogochukwu Okonkwor, Okechukwu Christopher, Chinedu Okeke, Chukwuebuka Oraka, Simon Nnaemeka, Onyeka Ufondo, Chidera Christopher, Nzube Ebere, Ekene Nwana, Christian Muoka, Gerald Godwin, Ogu Inyang, Oluebubechukwu Maduka, Onyedika Kingsley, Donatus Uchi, Chinecherem Alu, Emmanuel Ugwu, Muoneke Mateus, Martin Mbakwe, Ikechukwu Nwali, Lotanna Okeke and Emeka Henry Ekenta.

NIDCOM said it would continue to engage with the Nigerian High Commission and relevant Mozambican authorities to ensure the safety and fair treatment of the detainees.

Mozambique Deports Detained Nigerians Despite Court Order

Every country in the world no rate Nigeria.

They see all the nonsense happening in Nigeria, a country were the judicial system has failed, the country's president was a drug baron, corruption and many more atrocities.

They're learning from South Africa 🤷🏿

Imagine Mozambique deporting Nigerians

Mmmmm afrik, one day it gonna be arlight

Under tinubu's government no country in the world regard Nigeria.

tinubu's government obey court orders? Why then do you expect other country not to treat Nigerians the same way their government treats them.

Wetin dem find go Mozambique...

Small nyash de shake
Nigeria used to be very respected among other African countries,
Go to sierra Leone today, there's a place called abacha town, and there's a football club called abacha town fc in that town,
It was the result of Nigerias contribution to sierra Leone through Gen Sani Abacha during their civil war that gave that town the name
Nigeria is no longer an heavy weight country
Buhari/Tinubu and their henchmen took Nigeria to a new low

Eraddray:
Wetin dem find go Mozambique...

Have you been to Mozambique? You will stay in your house and think another person's house is bad. There are opportunities there.
