entry into their country over suspicion that they
were possibly infected by the dreaded Ebola Virus
Disease, one of those repatriated has told Premium
Times. Hauwa'u Ibrahim Bakori, a second year
student of Pharmacy at Al Ahfad University for Women, Omdurman, said she and 25 others were
denied entry after arriving Khartoum Airport
yesterday. They were detained, and then deported to
Nigeria today, Ms. Bakori said. Ms Bakori revealed she had earlier travelled to
Nigeria for holidays, before returning yesterday. The Nigerians travelled to Khartoum via an Ethiopian
Airline flight ET 910 from Abuja, travelling via Addis
Ababa. But on arrival in Khartoum, authorities seized
their passports, and arranged boarding passes for
them to return to Nigeria. They were not tested for
Ebola, Ms. Bakori said.
