VISITING NIGERIAN STUDENTS who recently graduated from their studies are stranded again.

This time, the 70 men and women who were supposed to be heading to their homeland today have no passports.

And police last night confirmed they were investigating reports that someone was withholding their travel documents.

The students have graduated from the Barbados Institute of Management and Productivity (BIMAP) as part of the Delta State Youth Empowerment Programme.

Some of the students spoke to the SATURDAY SUN under condition of anonymity, and said their passports had been taken by one of their own in lieu of monies that was owed to him and another man.
