First batch of Nigerian evacuees arrive Abuja
The first batch of Nigerians returning from Sudan has arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja.
The 376 returnees, who took off from Aswan, Egypt after a tumultuous journey crossing the border, were on Wednesday airlifted by the Nigerian Air Force on the NAF C-130H aircraft at about 4 pm in the afternoon.
They landed at the Federal Capital Territory at 11:35 pm against the 11:23 pm scheduled for a touchdown at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport.
