A Nigerian man has cried out online after allegedly being denied entry into Mauritius despite arriving in the country for vacation with all required travel documents.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @dammiedammie95, he claimed he travelled to Mauritius to relax and had already booked hotels and tourist centres before immigration officials allegedly rejected and deported him alongside others.
“Mauritius declined our visa after we arrived. Everybody is chasing Nigerians out of their country,” he lamented.
The man claimed they were separated for questioning and allegedly treated like criminals despite completing all necessary travel preparations.
He further revealed that he had his hotel reservation, yellow card, proof of funds and other requested travel documents but was still allegedly denied entry because he is Nigerian.
“I already booked my hotel, 5-star hotel, tour reserve centre, three places. I have my yellow card, I have everything, even the requested cash. They deported us just because we’re Nigerians,” he added.
The video has since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing frustration over how citizens are allegedly being treated abroad due to the country’s image.
The incident continues to trend on social media as debates grow over the treatment of Nigerians overseas.
