Egypt deports 7 Nigerians to protest SARS
8 Nigerians were arrested in Egypt in early October for an unsanctioned protest. They were conducting the Egyptian phase of the #EndSARS protest. The Nigerian embassy in Cairo intervened to secure their release, but the Egyptian authorities have since discovered that 7 of them do not have a residence permit and are therefore in the process of deporting them.

An update on 8 Nigerians detained in Cairo for protests without permission. 7 of them will be deported to Nigeria for lack of a residence permit. The only one who has a residence permit will receive final permission from the Minister of the Interior.
After signing the bond, do not break the laws of Egypt. Nigeria’s Mission to Egypt continues to seek clemency on behalf of seven deportation candidates
