The chairman
of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, earlier today in
Lagos, received over 187 Nigerians trapped by xenophobic attacks in South
Africa.
According to
TheNation, the returnees who expressed mixed emotions on their return, burst
into tears as they alighted from the Air Peace Boeing 777 aircraft that flew
them into Lagos.
They
expressed their bitter experiences in the hands of South Africans. Mrs Dabiri
informed returnees that the government had made available to them N40,000
recharge card to enable them communicate with their family members.
In
appreciation of the gestures from the government, the returnees rose in
euphoria to sing the national anthem.
