The Federal Government has evacuated 152 out of the over 230 Nigerians who were stranded in Russia after the 2018 World Cup tournament.

The football fans boarded an Ethiopian aircraft on Friday morning and were expected to arrive Abuja by 6pm.

Some media had reported the evacuation on Thursday, whereas the true position of things is that the stranded Nigerians were actually airlifted on Friday morning.

The media also erroneously reported 230 fans as having been evacuated, whereas only 152 have been airlifted so far.

The evacuation, which was being carried out by the Ministry of Aviation, followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive that the men should be brought back to the country.

Buhari said they should bring them back, yet he has no arrangement to correct the cause of their leaving in the first place.
