A total of 145 stranded Nigerians, including 124 women, 13 men, and 8 children, have been repatriated from Libya with the support of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the Libyan Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration (DCIM), and the Nigerian consulate.
The migrants were flown into Lagos from Mitiga International Airport, Tripoli, on a Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) flight. Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed their arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 5:35 p.m. on Tuesday aboard a chartered Boeing flight with registration number 5A-BAA.
After profiling and biometric registration, the returnees were moved for further reintegration programs facilitated by the IOM.
