NigerianEye had earlier reported how the Lebanese caused a social media
stir after he had shared the passport of Ufuoma to ‘Buy and Sell in Lebanon,’ a
Facebook group, alongside a post written in Arabic, calling for prospective
buyers.
Information contained on the passport had shown it was
acquired in May 2018, and that the bearer hails from Ibadan, Oyo state.
Several Nigerians had condemned the move, asking the
Nigerian government to swiftly wade into the issue and ensure justice is done.
