Stranded Nigerians

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Lagos Territorial Office, has successfully repatriated 180 Nigerians who were stranded in Libya.

In a statement on Friday, NEMA disclosed that the returnees arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos at approximately 7:30 pm on Wednesday, aboard a charter flight operated by Al-Buraq Airlines.

They included 67 adult females, 55 adult males, 24 female children, 18 male children, and 16 infants.

According to the statement, the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, conducted a biometric profiling of the returnees to ensure proper documentation and support.

In the same vein, various government agencies provided humanitarian assistance to the returnees to aid their reintegration into society.

“The IOM continues to play a crucial role in assisting Nigerians stranded abroad, and this latest evacuation underscores the organisation’s commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of migrants,” the NEMA statement added.
