Nigerians in Italy have refuted the recent claims by a former Commissioner for Arts, Culture, Tourism and Diaspora Affairs in Edo State, Osaze Osemwengie-Ero that the Italian government was mistreating Nigerians residing in Italy.

Osemwengie-Ero, who recently returned to Nigeria following his release from detention in Italy, also said over 300 Nigerians were unlawfully detained in that country’s prisons.“I was a victim of racial discrimination and manipulation of a corrupt prosecutor of the Italian justice system. Several Nigerians are in my situation in Italy.”

He said no fewer than 100,000 Nigerians currently live in Italy with some inter-married between the two countries, noting that this could not have been possible if Osemwengie-Ero claims were true. “They are engaged in lawful businesses and some have even integrated into the Italian society and married Italians, while some Italians have also married Nigerians.“Some have also acquired their citizenship.
