According to a report by a Nigerian lawyer living in Benin Republic
who sent out the story to the media, in the early hours of yesterday
morning, Wednesday July 31st, the police department of the Republic of
Benin carried out a house to house search of Nigerians living in
Cotonou, who don't have their passports and ID cards. The Nigerians they
found wanting were bundled up and quarantined in a local primary school
(pictured above).
A few other nationalities like Ghanaians and
Nigers were also picked up but majority were Nigerians. The Benin police
say they plan to continue their raid because some foreigners were
constituting a nuisance in the area.
The lawyer had to bail her
relatives from the camp with 20,000cfa which is about N6000 even though
they didn't commit any crime other than being unable to identify
themselves. Maybe it's time to come home!
