webfact Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Not one but THREE Nigerians stranded at Suvarnabhumi for months Picture: Thai PBS The authorities at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport have admitted that three Nigerians have been hunkering down in departures for two months. Previously a Facebook post suggested there was one. The three men arrived on two flights in March but while they were in transit their destination countries closed their borders and seeing as they had no Thai visas they were left stranded at the airport. Two arrived on Emirates on March 21st and were headed for Laos on Lao Airways. The other arrived on Ethihad on March 24th and was due to fly to Myanmar. Picture: Thai PBS Thai media reported that Thailand's region two immigration has been working with the Nigerian embassy and the airlines to provide for the men. If looks as though their ordeal may come to an end in June 4th when they could travel back to the UAE.

Yme Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 There's going to be a lot more people getting stuck in transit and in foreign countries with expired or unusable passports if this goes on much longer. Going be bad luck for those stuck in countries without embassies able to issue passports locally. Ridiculous that the Thais couldn't issue them with a temporary visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketyo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Why would you go to another country to sell drugs in a lockdown? They pay their money up front to the Nigerian drug gang chief who pays for their flight. Then they have to pay that money off from drug sales. So they don't have any money. And the leader of the drugs gang is not helping them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torturedsole Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That must be seriously boring for them, but nice to see airport security feeding them. And at least another two weeks stuck there. It's bad enough in lockdown at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirocco Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Islam does not ban alcohol, but drunkenness.????
