UAE Jails Nigerian Woman For Social Media Post

A Nigerian woman identified as @dunchichi on Twitter has been reportedly sentenced to a one-year jail term by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government for a social media post showing how some Nigerian nationals were illegally detained at Dubai International airport.

Following the development, a relative of Dunchichi, has cried out for help.

Dunchichi had in August shared pictures and video of Nigerians being detained in Dubai upon entry.

In the latest development, a relative of hers, Jerry Doubles, on Twitter, disclosed that she has been jailed for travelling with family visa on October 12th, 2022.

He tweeted,

“It is sad and regrettably heartrending to tell you all that #dunchichi was sentenced on 12th Oct 22, to 1yr in jail in Dubai. Her family are devastated and Nigeria didn’t save her.

“Her sentence came from the backdrop that she got a family visa to travel. But in fact, she was there with her sister. It got messy & complicated, she was released on arrival after being detained for several hours, only to be sentenced when she was returning to Nigeria.

“They are capitalising on the fact that she made a video then posted them on her Twitter timeline to narrate the ordeal.

“They said it’s cyber crime in their country. She went ahead to delete it. Still, that didn’t soften them. Now she is jailed 💔”

Recall that The United Arab Emirates (UAE) immigration authorities had imposed a visa ban on Nigerians while noting that all submitted applications will be rejected and fees non-refundable.

The development is the latest in a series of back and forth between the Nigerian authorities and the UAE immigration authorities on visa restrictions and their engagement with Nigerians who wish to visit the middle East country.
