Dichi Lar, a Nigerian woman who was detained for taking to Twitter to speak against Dubai authorities after they held her and other Nigerians for long hours without reason, spoke to PUNCH about her experience.
She narrated how she has to remind herself that she’s no longer in captivity.
“I have to consciously remind myself that I am now out of prison. I am still trying to adjust to my normal life”, Dichi said.
When asked if she was later told the offence she and other Nigerians committed that caused their unlawful detention, she replied negative.
“No, they didn’t. I had to ask the other Nigerians I met in this new room what they did and they said they didn’t know and that they had just got to the airport in Dubai and were taken to the room”, she answered.
