Air Peace airlifts Second batch of 314 Nigerian returnees from South Africa
Air Peace has left the O.R. Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, for the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
About 314 Nigerians were evacuated by the airline at about 2:58p.m.
The returnees are expected to arrive Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, today at about 6:58pm local time.
The first flight had brought back 187 Nigerians out of the 313 scheduled for the evacuation last Wednesday, following the xenophobic attacks against foreign nationals in South Africa.
The Consul-General, Nigerian High Commission in South Africa, Godwin Adama, had disclosed that the number of registered Nigerians had risen to 1,004, adding that the technical issues faced during the first evacuation were being addressed.
