After many hours of waiting and anxiety, the Boeing 777 aircraft belonging to Air Peace that evacuated Nigerians from South Africa, has landed at the Lagos Airport.
The aircraft touched down at 9:37pm and taxied to the cargo wing of the airport.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had earlier confirmed that about 178 Nigerians were on their way back to the country from South Africa.
The ministry disclosed that the returnees were on board Air Peace Airline and are expected to touch down at the Murtala International Airport, Lagos State, at about 11:15 p.m.
The ministry officials on the evacuation mission said that the plane earlier scheduled for take-off at 9 a.m. was delayed due to slow checking in and clearance procedures by immigration.
