Nigerian Govt: Investigate Egyptian Airport Police Harassment of Nigerian Travellers.

The Issue

We, the undersigned, call upon the Nigerian government to urgently investigate the actions of the Egyptian airport police, who have been repeatedly accused of framing Nigerian travellers. We also demand that Egyptair be banned from operating in Nigeria until these issues are fully resolved and justice is served.

Nigerian travellers have been disproportionately targeted and victimized by the Egyptian airport police. This issue affects a wide range of individuals, from tourists to businesspeople, students, and professionals. A notable case is that of Dr. Israel Kristilere, President of the Christian Tourism Practitioners Association of Nigeria, who was unjustly detained and harassed. Another instance involves Master Kunle AbdulAzeez, a young Nigerian passenger who faced similar treatment. These are not isolated incidents; numerous Nigerian citizens have shared harrowing stories of being framed, detained, and extorted by Egyptian authorities, causing distress and financial loss.

If these issues are not addressed, the safety and dignity of Nigerian travellers will continue to be compromised. This pattern of abuse not only tarnishes the reputation of Nigeria but also discourages international travel and tourism, which are vital for cultural exchange and economic growth. Continuing to allow Egyptair to operate in Nigeria without addressing these serious allegations only perpetuates the cycle of abuse and undermines the trust of Nigerian citizens in their own government's ability to protect them abroad.

Immediate action is crucial to safeguarding the rights and well-being of Nigerian travellers. The Nigerian government must send a strong message that such discriminatory practices will not be tolerated. By investigating these allegations and holding the responsible parties accountable, we can ensure justice for the victims and prevent future occurrences. Banning Egyptair from operating in Nigeria until these matters are resolved will demonstrate a commitment to protecting Nigerian citizens and upholding international standards of human rights and dignity. It is imperative to act now to restore faith in our travel systems and ensure the safety of our people.

Sign this petition to demand justice and safety for Nigerian travellers and to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
