Returnee Nigerian students who were airlifted back to Nigeria from Egypt, have recounted their ordeal, alleging that some females were sexually harassed and were so broke to the extent of picking things from shops and ran away.
A returnee female student told journalists on
arrival at the International Airport Abuja that they faced humiliation and
slept in the open.
“We spent all the money we had. We were so
hungry and thirsty. They were harassing us sexually. There was no food, no
water to drink. It got to a point we picked things from shops and ran away,”
the returnee female student spoke of her excruciating experience while at the
border.
Another female student told the BBC Hausa
Service in an interview, that their legs were swollen due to long hours of stay
in the buses.
Speaking on his experience, a male student
said the situation was so bad that they even had to pay money before they were
allowed to urinate, and hoped the war would soon end to enable him go back to
Sudan and complete just a semester to round up his programme.
