A Nigerian lady has sounded an alarm regarding the reported detention of five Nigerian nationals at Cape Verde’s Sal Airport, without any clear explanation from local authorities.

“This is a case of emergency,” she stated.
“Some Nigerians are presently being detained in Sal, Cape Verde. I have a few friends who are currently stranded at the airport. They’ve been held for about four days now, and no one has given any tangible explanation.”
She continued, “A group of five people arrived together. They were on vacation and had already explored Senegal and Zambia. Cape Verde was their next stop, but now they’re being detained.”
As the video spread across the internet, numerous worried viewers flocked to the comment section to voice their concerns and seek explanations.
