Reality TV star, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has called out Dubai authorities for allegedly denying Nigerian tourists with valid visas entry into the Middle-East country.
A Twitter user had earlier taken to the micro-blogging platform to share her experience and those of other Nigerians after they were reportedly detained at the airport in Dubai and had their passports seized.
She claims that after they landed in Dubai, they were kept in a room for hours without an explanation.
