1000 Nigerians Seek Repatriation from South Africa
At least 1,094 Nigerians have registered for voluntary return from South Africa following recent xenophobic attacks. A joint screening process involving officials from both nations will conclude on Saturday to determine eligibility and final flight logistics for those cleared to depart.
Nigeria says 1,094 citizens registered for voluntary repatriation from South Africa following an escalation in xenophobic violence. The figure rose from 130 applicants previously as a joint screening process determines final eligibility. The move follows Nigeria's condemnation of violence against its citizens, including the deaths of two nationals.
