The Saudi Arabian government has finally shed more light on the controversy surrounding the deportation of some Nigerians upon entry into the Kingdom recently.
According to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia, the visas of the 177 Air Peace passengers from Nigeria upon Arrival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were cancelled for violating the country’s entry rules.
The Saudi authorities defended the deportation in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Saudi Embassy in Abuja where it stated that the deported Nigerians submitted incorrect information to obtain a category of visa that did not apply to them, which was discovered upon their arrival.
