Antigua’s Ambassador, Davin Joseph, has vehemently refuted allegations of accepting funds from Nigerian passengers who arrived on Air Peace’s flight last Saturday in exchange for special treatment.

Recent reports from detained Nigerians had insinuated that the ambassador engaged in accepting money to grant certain Nigerians permission to remain in Antigua.
Joseph strongly rebuffed these accusations, emphasizing the detrimental impact of irresponsible journalism on the nation’s reputation.
In an interview with Twin Island Media, he underscored the critical importance of fact-checking and verifying news stories before dissemination.
Furthermore, Ambassador Joseph expressed deep concerns about the negative stereotyping of the achievements of black individuals and the unwarranted stigma attached to African visitors in Antigua.
He called for a shift in focus towards celebrating accomplishments rather than fixating on perceived shortcomings, urging against discrimination based on ethnicity.
Joseph remarked, “We should celebrate people’s successes, regardless of their origins. While we readily embrace various ethnic groups, there’s unjust prejudice against African visitors. They’ve contributed positively to Antigua, yet we face resistance when welcoming them.”
On a separate note, Prime Minister Gaston Browne clarified the detention of specific passengers from the Air Peace flight.
Four individuals possessing previous Nigerian visas were detained upon arrival due to cautionary immigration measures.
The flight’s interruption occurred upon learning that some passengers intended to transit to Suriname, known as a gateway to the US.
The successful trip saw participation from government officials and business representatives, with discussions and investments, including the prospect of a pharmaceutical manufacturing factory in Antigua, shaping the future of Nigerian-Antiguan relations.
The government plans to establish weekly flights between the two nations, fostering increased connectivity and collaboration.
