Nigerians who are stranded in the United Arab Emirates are currently undergoing profiling ahead of their evacuation to Nigeria.
In a viral video, thousands of people were seated in an open area with their bags and luggage following the mass deportation of aliens being carried out by the UAE authorities.
The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, who briefed journalists in Abuja on Friday, said the profiling being carried out by the Nigerian Consulate in Dubai was necessary to properly get detailed information about the Nigerians over there before evacuating them.
According to Erewa, Some of the Nigerians being profiled have passports and some do not while some children do not have any form of identification and some do not remember the names with which they entered the country originally.
So they need to be profiled. She also noted that it is also important to ensure that some have not committed a crime.
The NiDCOM chairman also explained that It is after the profiling that the consulate will make a decision on the next step to take.
