About 24 Libyan returness have asked their states to relocate them from the Port Harcourt International Airport.They protested yesterday against what they called their continued stay at the airport’s reception centre.

Akelicious learnt that the returnees were not supposed to have stayed at the airport for more than 48 hours after arrival.The victims lamented that their various states had not come to receive them more than two weeks after arriving from Libya.The affected returnees are from Osun, Ekiti and Kwara states.

Meanwhile, another 136 Nigerians stranded in Libya have been evacuated to the country.The victims, who arrived at the Port Harcourt International Airport around 1.11a.m yesterday, were the fifth batch to be lifted by the Federal Government. The first flight had lifted 484 and the second, 446, while the third and fourth flights lifted 560 and 465 persons.

The Federal Government had planned to evacuate 5,037 stranded Nigerians within 38 days.But, it was learnt that a clash between some militia groups delayed the profiling of the victims, as it resulted in the closure of the Tripoli airport.

The South-South Cordinator of the National Emergency and Management Agency, (NEMA), Ejike Martins, disclosed that one of the 136 returness, who fell sick had been taken to the hospital.Represented by a NEMA official, Ebhodaghe Eric, he said, so far, 2,091 had been evacuated, leaving over 2,000 stranded Nigerians in the Arab country.

According to him: “I would not call it a protest, but somebody has the right to complain. I think the returnees felt that they had overstayed at the camp because they were seeing other state governments coming to pick their colleagues. As humans, they may have felt lonely and desired to go home too.

“The guidelines for the operation is that NEMA receives the victims and hand them over to the state governments, who obtain approval to evacuate their returnees. But sometimes, the procedure is slow.”

The coordinator explained that the affected states had earlier evacuated some of their returnees at the camp, adding that it was those in the fourth batch who are yet to go home.He appealed to the various state governments to hasten up the process to take their returness home.

Ok

Evacuate wetin? We are pampering these people.

Give them 2k each and set them on their way.

Except for those who were trafficked illegally.

Those ones that left of their own volition, just need a phone call to their families and 2 thousand Naira

See double wahala oh.

The victims lamented that their various states had not come to receive them more than two weeks after arriving from Libya.



"I wonder if they notified their states before they travelled out!"

PRODIGAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS ARE BACK!!!
Una welcome o!

They better contact their families to come and carry them.
if the government relocates them they'll still be expecting the government to still give them money. small time now they'll start playing politics with this unnecessary issue.

Lol, 44, you harsh o!
But, I concur with you!
I don't know what they are actually feeling like.
No one knew when they did their "travelling out" btw....

Welcome back home brothers... Nigeria isn't any better though.




Returnees making demands as if it was the government that sent them there in the first place... They should have told their slave masters their demands back there in Lybia na.. Yeye dey smell!

...

Like say na person send una go libya, hope u guys wont regret cuming bk cus there is no difference between libya and Nigeria,fulani hersmen are taken peoples lifes here on daily bases dsame way its in libya

welcome back.

Why calling on the state government who were never in the know when they were leaving the shores of Nigeria. From PH to SW is less down 10k, they should rally their friends to contribute.

WHAT ARE THESE RETARDS FEELING LIKE? BESIDES WHO SEND THEM? WHO ARE THEY TO EVEN SAY WHAT THEY WANT..?

They got used to being pampered by international aid agencies. They forget they're back in Naija.

Ok.... lemme book space

They've not realized they are back in Nigeria.
When they get tired of the airport lobby, they'll find their ways.
Okpoko Ouagadougou

Am not surprised d people mentioned are from afonja states.

Afonjas always looking for freebies

Why refer to them as "victims"?

Those who stayed back home are yet to get their State government's attention, it is returnees that they would think of.

We could all have well travelled out with your logic!

Since Govt has been doing that, let them finish what they accepted to do. But if it was to be me o, I for don find my way tey tey.

as they say its different strikes 4 different folks. We both know several Niger who travelled cos of d situation in d country and are well settled in foreign countries. We are only castigating these folks now cos they didn't succeeed. If u feel u can make it here in Nigeria, all well and good. If some others feel otherwise, they can try other climes. If they succeed, it will b good 4 them

I have said it time without number, fence entire Yoruba land along with their Edo distant cousins, and watch rate of Nigerians heading to Libya and Mediterranean coast reduce drastically... AFONJA
