The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has repatriated 497 Nigerian migrants from Niamey to Kano.
The agency received the returnees at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, on Friday at about 12:40 p.m.
Dr Nura Abdullahi, Head of Operations, NEMA Kano Office, said the exercise was a voluntary repatriation, and not a forced evacuation.
“It is a voluntary repatriation of Nigerians from Niger Republic. The returnees were brought back by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” he said.
