The Polish government has released 13 out of 19 Nigerians detained in various camps in the country.
Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) in a statement on Wednesday, April 20, said their release followed the intervention of the Nigeria Ambassador to Poland, Major General Christian Ugwu (rtd).
According to the statement, signed by NiDCOM spokesperson, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, among the remaining six persons in detention camps, one claimed to be a Cameroonian.
“Unfortunately, the remaining five, all applied for international protection (asylum) in Poland including Igwe Ikechukwu Christian, who had been interviewed by some foreign media.
The five cannot be released until the Government of Poland takes a decision on their application or they decide to withdraw the application,” the envoy added.
Recall that earlier in the month, NiDCOM boss, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, disclosed that the 19 Nigerian refugees were detained in Poland after they refused to leave the country during the Federal Government’s evacuation exercise.
