HUSHPUPPI: NIGERIANS DENIED ACCESS TO JOBS, TOURIST VISAS IN DUBAI
Following the arrest of Ramon Olorunwa Abass, aka Hushpuppi, Companies in the United Arab Emirates have started exempting Nigerians from applying for job positions.
Eons Intelligence had earlier reported that Hushpuppi and other Nigerians were arrested for Internet fraud in Dubai and extradited to the United State's FBI.
Aside denying Nigerians access to work, the UAE Government has also barred Nigerians from applying for tourist visa to the Arabian tourist centres.
The UAE disclosed this in a letter which says that Nigerian passport holders are not allowed to obtain a tourism visa to the country until further notice.
"Dear Applicants, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, your visa application has been rejected as Nigerian passport holders are not permitted to obtain a tourism visa to the UAE in the meantime.
However, this may change at any time as the permitted nationalities are updated frequently," the letter read.

Hushpuppi, who appeared in a federal court in Chicago few days ago, was accused of conspiring to defraud hundreds of millions of dollars through cybercrime.
He is presently being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre (MCC) in Chicago.
