Coronavirus: 60 Nigerians trapped in Chinese city
They are making a passionate appeal to the Nigerian Embassy in China and the Nigerian Diaspora Commission to evacuate them
Mohammed last week told reporters in Abuja that “16 Nigerians in Wuhan had not indicated their interest to come home.”Two of the trapped Nigerians, who spoke with TheCable, an online news portal on Monday, said they were ready to return home because things could get worse in China. “Purchasing items have been difficult since the outbreak of this epidemic. The masks are no longer available in stores that open briefly on a daily basis and if you go online, they are very expensive.“We are more than 57 Nigerians in Wuhan and government has banned public movement without masks. We expected the embassy to assist us with this but nothing of such happened.”
“We are stranded here. The Federal Government should please rescue us… shops are closed and banks shut. We find it difficult to get the things we need. We don’t know how long this situation will continue.” Asked why there were no plans for their evacuation, he replied: “Discuss with Foreign Affairs if it has to do with evacuation.”
