Popular singer Tuface has called out the Nigerian Center for Disease Control for leaving him and other Nigerian travelers stranded and frustrated.

The popular Nigerian artist took a video to his instagram on Wednesday, lamenting bitterly on the failed system of NCDC.

“NCDC you people better wake up because you’re causing serious problems and hardship for people traveling, You keep requesting ransoms and codes from travelers yet your workers are nowhere to be found even when they know that people travel everyday,” he said.

He complained further saying the “Agency that knows that people travel every second will close, even when they are called nobody answers.”

“It’s ridiculous that the NCDC compulsory COVID-19 arrival test portal collects 50 thousand per passenger and fails to deliver QR code. Passengers are stranded at the airport, business and personal commitments messed up,” the artist said.

“This NCDC scam and extortion must stop because this is wickedness and it’s very frustrating,” he added.

The singer claims the incompetence of the agency disturbed his business plans.
