A fresh batch of 120 stranded Nigerians returned to the country from Libya and were by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

The returnees who arrived at the MMIA Cargo Wing, Lagos at about 9:15 pm on Thursday, via AL Buraq Air, were brought back with the help of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

They were received by the Acting Zonal Coordinator of NEMA, Segun Afolayan and other Federal Government agencies.

The returnees comprised 29 female adults, five female children, four female infants, 75 male adults, two male children and five male infants.

According to NEMA, they were brought mainly from three cities of Sabha, Bram Alshati and Oubari.

While welcoming them back, Afolayan asked the returnees to make good use of the second chance afforded by the IOM and God Almighty after surviving the dangers of illegal migration.
