The federal government has evacuated another batch of 284 Nigerians from South Africa, making it the fifth flight operated to bring back the citizens from the hostile African nation.
The flight, which was operated by Air Peace, arrived the Hajj/Cargo Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos late Thursday where officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service documented the new arrivals.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the airlift was part of an ongoing government-sponsored repatriation exercise designed to help citizens who feel endangered by recent xenophobic tensions.
