Fifty trafficked girls and 19 stranded Nigerians have arrived from Lebanon on Sunday night.
Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Foreign Affairs, disclosed these via his verified Twitter handle.
He noted that their evacuation was at the expense of the Lebanese authorities.
He tweeted: “With the financial and logistic support of the Lebanese Government and Lebanese community in Nigeria, 50 trafficked Nigerian girls and 19 stranded Nigerians were successfully evacuated from Lebanon and arrived in Nigeria today.”
It was gathered they will be moved to Abuja where they will observe the 14-day compulsory isolation in line with protocol aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19.
Recall that in the last two weeks, the Federal Government has evacuated close to 1,000 from U.K, U.S, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
