On Friday, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari granted an interview to Telegraph Newspaper in London in which he declared that Nigerians are known as criminals abroad and as such their asylum requests are denied.

“Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking,” Buhari told The Telegraph.

“I don’t think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country.”
