The woman wrote in her tweet, “Help needed: There are currently 35 men & women from Nigeria sleeping rough in a park in Dubai. Some have been there for a matter of days, some 2/3 weeks. However, their stories are the same: their companies stopped paying their salaries so they can’t afford rent or a flight home.”
The men and woman are said to be 35 in numbers each.
