The clip, which quickly went viral, showed the abandoned workers in the Bambari region, roughly 850 kilometres from the country’s capital, Bangui.
The individuals claimed they had been left behind by both their employers and the agents who facilitated their journey.
In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday, July 25, that officials at the Nigerian Embassy in Bangui had already made contact with the group.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is deeply concerned about the welfare of Nigerian workers currently stranded in the Central African Republic,” said Kimiebi Ebienfa, spokesperson for the ministry.
