There’s indication that the evacuation of Nigerian students
out of Sudan has encountered hitches.
A video circulating online showed
that the buses evacuating the Nigerian students and non-students were stopped
in the middle of the Sahara desert.
A voice narrating the incident in the video claimed that the
drivers refused to continue the journey because they were not paid.
The video was posted by a Twitter handle, Dr Ahmad Small and
shared by former lawmaker, Shehu Sani on his verified Twitter handle.
Dr Ahmad Small wrote, “The buses evacuating Nigerian
students and non-students were stopped in the middle of the Sahara, and the
drivers refused to continue the journey because they were not PAID.

“Students crying out in this video.”
Recall that the e Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved
1.2million dollars for the immediate evacuation of the Nigerians stranded in
war torn Sudan.
According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey
Onyeama, the amount would be spent on the hiring of 40 luxury buses that will
transport the stranded Nigerians from Khartoum, Sudan, to Egypt, from where
they will be airlifted to Nigeria.
