The 
Federal Government on Monday declared as ‘erroneous and unfortunate’, the 
repatriation of 30 Nigerians by Sudan over suspicion of them being infected by 
the Ebola Virus Disease.

The 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Nigerian government had already protested 
the ill-treatment of Nigerians by the country to the Sudanese authority and was 
seeking appropriate redress.

Spokesman 
of the ministry, Mr Ogbole Ode, said that 30 Nigerians were repatriated by the 
Sudanese authority Thursday last week.

“The 
repatriation is erroneous because the World Health Organisation, has declared 
Nigeria Ebola-free since Oct. 20 after 42-day observation period without 
recording any case of Ebola.

“It 
is unfortunate that Sudan a supposedly friendly African nation which has cordial 
relations with Nigeria, will act this way,” Ode said.

The 
spokesman said that 26 of the affected Nigerians were students who had travelled 
to Nigeria on holidays and were returning to Khartoun after their holidays in 
Nigeria.

According 
to him, the Nigerians had travelled to Khartoum via an Ethiopian Airline” but on 
arrival, authorities seized their passports, and arranged for them to return to 
Nigeria.

He, 
however, said that following the intervention of the Nigerian Embassy in 
Khartoun, 13 of the affected students, who had not left Khartoun, were allowed 
entry.

Ode 
said that the ministry was committed to the country’s foreign policy of 
promoting and protecting the interests of Nigerians living or traveling 
abroad.
