No expulsions of Nigerians took place

A hundred African Facebook pages posted information about “51 Congolese were expelled from France” on March 1 after incidents two days earlier in Paris, on the sidelines of a concert by Congolese star singer Fally Ipupa. (Image: Paris, Gare de Lyon before fire).

This is false: no case of eviction has been recorded by the Congolese authorities, no plane from France landed in Kinshasa on Sunday and the photos accompanying these claims date back several years.

💬 Des Congolais expulsés de France le 01/03, deux jours après des incidents à Paris avant un concert de Fally Ipupa ?
❌ Les autorités congolaises n'ont enregistré aucune expulsion et aucun avion venant de France n'a atterri à Kinshasa ce jour-là https://t.co/Luipfz1xBl #AFP pic.twitter.com/EpAtTXEkUa
