The first batch of Nigerians who were evacuated from the crisis-ridden Sudan have arrived in the country.
According to reports, the evacuees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja at about 11:30 pm Wednesday on an Air Peace flight.
They encountered some logistics and diplomatic challenges on their long journey from Sudan to Egypt by bus and were airlifted at the Aswan Airport in Egypt.
Their flight was equally delayed before they were finally cleared to board. More batches are expected to arrive in the country from Sudan in the next few days.
