After Hushpuppi’s arrest, Dubai disbars Nigerians from job application and tourist visa
Companies in Dubai have started excluding Nigerian applicants from vacancies after Ramon Olorunwa Abass popularly known as Hushpuppi was arrested in the United Arab Emirates.
Recall that Hushpuppi and other Nigerians were arrested for fraud in Dubai and extradited to the United States.
Legit.ng sighted some jobs advertised online and open to candidates of every nationality except Nigerians.
Apart from blacklisting Nigerians from applying for jobs in Dubai, the latter is also denying Nigerians tourist visa.
In a letter sighted by Legit.ng, the UAE made it known that Nigerian passport holders are not permitted to obtain a tourism visa to the country in the meantime.
The letter read in part:
“Dear Applicant, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, your visa application has been rejected as Nigerian passport holders are not permitted to obtain a tourism visa to the UAE in the meantime.
However, this may change at anytime as the permitted nationalities are updated frequently.”
