UAE Suspends Direct Employment Visa For Nigerians Over Rising Crimes
As a result of the rising number of crimes involving Nigerians in the Middle-East country, the United Arab Emirates government has stopped Direct Employment Visas for Nigerians.
According to SaharaReporters, UAE authorities are on the lookout for more Nigerian nationals and are conducting raids and arrests in order to apprehend them. According to sources, this is the standard in Abu Dhabi in particular.
“We all are shouting that our country is bad, and that our government is not rising to our needs, which is true, but our reputation abroad is also fast declining due to our character.
”Two weeks ago, some Nigerians killed one another for selfish reasons at Sharjah, and another one just happened here in Abu Dhabi, when some guys went to an Arab man’s house, killed him, his wife and took away a huge amount of money from them.
“The UAE government is now tracking every Nigerian in Abu Dhabi and they have also banned every Direct Employment Visa from Nigeria until further notice,” the source said.
“For like one week, this city (Abu Dhabi) has been hot. They (the police) are just arresting anyone on sight now. There was a cult incident where Nigerian cult members hacked one another in an area in Abu Dhabi here. It is not easy.
“As of yesterday (Monday), they have put restrictions on visas for Nigerians. For now, no work permit for Nigerians in UAE generally. The crisis started from Sharjah and last week in Abu Dhabi,” another Nigerian told SaharaReporters.
