A group of Nigerians who allege they were discriminated against during the evacuation of students by the Federal Government in Sudan have called for help to move out of the war-torn country.
This is contained in a video which circulated online on Monday.
The video was shared by Ndi Kato, the erstwhile spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council of the Labor Party, LP.
The voice in the video claimed they boarded the last bus that moved some Nigerians to Egypt but they were asked to come out of the bus.
The male voice alleged that it was he was barred from boarding the bus because of politics. He, therefore, solicited the help of prominent Igbo sons so they can move out of Sudan.
He said: “This appeal goes to Igbos. We are right here in the University of Khartoum in Sudan. They said they are doing evacuation project in which Nigerians are to be evacuated out of Sudan. They came and carried some people and then abandoned us Igbos. We boarded the last bus that moved some Nigerians to Egypt, which left two days ago but we were asked to move out of the bus. Everything is now politics.
“We are pleading with our Igbo people who can help us. Our brother Air Peace who brought Airplane to help evacuate Nigerians might be feeling that everything is moving on fine. Let them know that things are not going fine. See our bags here. This is where we are. Somehow, news has spread that we have been evacuated but that’s not true.
“We plead with people like Prince Arthur Eze, Obi Cubana and all those that can help us out.”
However, a tweet by the chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, indicated that some Nigerians are also stranded in Atbara, Sudan.
Dabiri-Erewa was responding to a plea by a Twitter user @dr-ahmadsamll who called for help on behalf of those in Atbara.
She said the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disasters Management and Social Development is also responsible for evacuating Nigerians in that region.
“The @FMHDSD responsible for the buses are aware and working on the matter,” she tweeted.
She also said that Egypt has opened its border to Nigerians fleeing Sudan. According to her, this was as a result of the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dear @abikedabiri and @nidcom_gov, is this true? Did you single out an ethnic group for abandonment in Sudan?
