A human rights activist and author, Comrade Paul Ikechukwu Njoku, has released a video by a Nigerian-American based woman who decried in the video about the alleged fraudulent Covid-19 QR-Code services by the officials of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) partners and allies which according to the woman affects travelers from boarding their international flights whereby keeping many travelers and Nigerians stranded both home and abroad after the mandatory payment of 50, 000 Nigerian naira for the regulatory service.
Reacting on the viral video, the rights activist, condemned the development and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately intervene and ensure discipline and sanity is restored amongst the various Covid-19 task Forces and the Nigerian Center for Decease Control (NCDC) and allies.
“President Muhammadu Buhari-led government must as a matter of urgency, wake up and fight the unprecedented corruption in the ongoing Covid-19 screening excercise for international travelers who are mostly Nigerians seeking to travel outside the country and those seeking to come back to Nigeria.
“It is very sad, unpatriotic and unacceptable that citizens would pay the huge sum of 50, 000 naira for QR-code having done the Covid-19 test yet the Nigerian Covid operatives, allies and operational partners would not generate and give them the prerequisite but compulsory QR-code number which would enable them travel even as the service is reportedly rendered free of charge in other countries of the World including African States.
“Many Nigerians are utterly stranded by this fraudulent and sad development. This should never happen in a government of change.
“Discipline must be restored amongst the various Covid-19 Task Forces including the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control”, Njoku, stated.
