The federal government says Egyptian authorities have decided to deport seven #EndSARS protesters earlier arrested in the country.
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) said they are being deported for not having resident permits and visas.
“The Egyptian authorities have said that Seven out of the eight Nigerians who protested in Egypt on 18 October, will be deported to Nigeria for lack of resident permits/ visas,” it said via its Twitter handle.
