Another 136 Nigerians fleeing Sudan arrive Abuja

The 136 evacuees arrived at 9:30am in a Tarco Aviation plane through Port Sudan.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) reports that 2,002 Nigerians, including men, women, children, and pregnant women, have been evacuated from Sudan so far since the conflict there began, despite the fact that this is the 11th plane to do so.

The remaining evacuation trips were carried out by the Air Force Charlie 130, Nigerian airlines Air Peace, Max Air, and Azman Air, and Tarco Aviation, which has already performed seven trips.

This occurs just a few hours after 126 nationals who took a flight from Port Sudan International Airport and used Tarco Air to arrive at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Tuesday night.

The Federal Government has so far made a total of 1,856 evacuees, according to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).

A Nigerian life has not yet been lost, the agency continued.

When the returnees arrived, officials processed them by having them fill out registration forms for returnees that had been given to them by government representatives.

The Nigeria Immigration Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NIDCOM, NEMA, and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development all sent representatives to welcome them.

The military, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), and members of the Nigeria Police Force were also present at the welcome ceremony.
