Court Order Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NIDCOM

You sabi say court don yan serious matter wey go ginger Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM)? Court talk say make dem sharply carry over 270 Nigerians wey dey for Kaliti Prison for Ethiopia come back home. Na di matter we wan yarn now. Di court order na di final verdict for one big case wey involve oga lawyers and human rights talk-talk.

Justice Inyang Ekwo for Federal High Court, Abuja, na im yan di final verdict. E look di matter tire, come see say di Ethiopian government sef don raise hand like pesin wey taya. Di Ethiopian government talk say dem no even get budget to feed di prisoners, talkless of give dem medicine. Omo, na di kain gist wey dey make pesin wonder how e take reach dis level.

Some Nigerians wey sabi di matter, like Sunday Mmaduagwu, Henry Anyanwu, and Leonard Okafor, na dem carry di case go court. Dem yan say di prisoners no dey chop beta food, no dey get medicine, and di beating wey dem dey collect fit make person disappear. Some no even sabi wetin carry dem enter prison because no interpreter to explain di charges for court. Di thing pain dem sotey dia family sef begin assume say dem don kpai.

Justice Ekwo yan say, “See, dis ministry and NiDCOM need to do wetin di law say make dem do. Dis kain matter no be wetin pesin go sidon look.” Oga judge come order make dem sharply start di process to bring di prisoners back home.

Kaliti Prison for Ethiopia na di kind place wey go make pesin dey thank God say e dey free. E be like say if you talk anyhow, na mass beating straight. Some Nigerians wey dey there talk say di food no even fit to feed rat. Medicine? Forget am. If person get kidney problem, na paracetamol dem go give am. Omo, na di level of suffering be dat.

One man, Mr. Mmaduagwu, wey carry di matter go court, yan say di prisoners dey suffer die. He talk say people wey dey transit through Ethiopia sef go land for prison if dem mistakenly waka near police. Dem go collect your money, arrange fake witnesses, and next thing, na prison you go land. Many of dem don confess to crimes wey dem no do because di torture don pass wetin pesin fit bear.

NiDCOM sef no hide mouth. Dem talk say di prisoners dey chop food wey rat go look twice before e chop. Dem no dey get proper treatment, and di place dey record two or three deaths every week. Imagine say even di dead bodies still dey dia because dem no fit carry dem home.

Dats why di prisoners beg President Tinubu to help dem. Dem yan say, “Baba Tinubu, abeg carry us go home. We don suffer for here.” Dem dey even promise say dem don repent. Some of di prisoners still get family wey dey wait for dem back home, but di wahala for di prison don make dem lose hope.

Dis kain matter dey show how important e be for government to look di face of Nigerians abroad. Di judge yan say e no make sense at all say pesin go dey another man land dey suffer like dis. E talk say di Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NiDCOM need to step up and fulfill their duty.

For di end of di day, wetin Nigerians dey ask no be too much. Di prisoners just dey beg make dem carry dem go back home, even if na to serve di rest of their time for Nigeria. E beta pass make dem dey waste away for di kind condition wey no fit even raise chicken.

Dis court ruling don show say di government no fit close eye to di matter again. As di judge don give di order, people dey hope say di ministry go act fast. Dis na di kind news wey dey shake table and ginger government to do wetin dem suppose do.
