Out Of Food And Medicines, Nigerians In Coronavirus Epicenter Cry For Help

65 Nigerians trapped in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak have run out of food and essential medicines are urgently crying out for help.

Daily Sun reported that the condition of the Nigerians who are mostly students and artisans was further argued by the President of Nigerians in Diaspora, China branch, Mr. Festus Mbisiogu.

Mbisiogu said:

“Something urgently needs to be done. There are about 65 Nigerians trapped in China. They are indoors and they have run out of food and medicine; they cannot remain indoors without food and medicine. They should be evacuated. My businesses in China, just like other Nigerians, had been shut since the coronavirus outbreak. I am in touch with Nigerians trapped in China. I know that their situation is bad,” he said.

A student in Wuhan speaking on the condition of anonymity said: “We are in trouble here; we are not going out to get our necessities and nobody is making supplies to us. We have run out of food, medicines, toiletries. The Federal Government should come to our aid and evacuate us to Nigeria, pending when this deadly disease is eradicated.”

Speaking in the same vein, another Nigerian in Guangdong Province said:

“We are not doing anything. Our businesses have been closed, as we are not venturing out. This is a time for the Nigerian government to prove that it cares for its citizens. They should help us before we start dying of hunger and other sicknesses,” he said.
