The returnees arrived at the Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammad International Airport, Ikeja via a Chartered flight, Al Buraq Air, with registration number 5A-DMG Boeing 700-787 at about 1530 hours.

The returnees: 66 adult females, four female children, and four female infants.

NEMA director-general, Alhaji Mustapha Ahmed, charged the returnees to always avoid acts and practices that would disrupt their normal lives.

Ahmed, who was represented by the Lagos Territorial Office Coordinator, Ibrahim Farinloye, reminded them that leaving the country in search of greener pastures that non-existed was a serious mistake but asked them to appreciate God that they returned home alive.

He, therefore, advised them to settle down to harness better potentials that abound in all parts of the country, saying with enabling environment created by the government in recent times, everyone with patience and perseverance will fulfill his or her potential.
