A Nigerian traveller has shared his experience after being denied entry into Mauritius upon arrival, despite arriving for a planned vacation with confirmed bookings and travel documents.
He said he had intended to spend his holiday in the island nation and came fully prepared with accommodation arrangements, tour bookings, and required health documentation. According to him, he also had the necessary funds requested for entry.
The traveller described being subjected to questioning and later sent back, expressing frustration over how the situation unfolded.
He also linked the experience to broader concerns about how Nigerians are treated at certain borders.
He said:
“Mauritius declined our visa after we arrived. Everybody is chasing Nigerians out of their country. I only came for vacation to relax, and this is how it turned out. They rejected us and sent us back.
See what the government has caused us. We were separated for questioning and treated like thievss and ex-convcts.
There is visa on arrival. I already booked my hotel, a 5-star hotel, tour reserve centre, three different places. I have my yellow card, I have everything, even the requested cash of 1.5 dollars, I have it.
I have everything, yet they still deported us just because we’re Nigerians. If you’re a Nigerian, you’re finished…”
