Sudan: Trapped Nigerian students decry shoddy evacuation as bus drivers stopped trip midway over money

Nigerian students trapped in Sudan following clashes between rival military forces have decried the shoddy evacuation arrangements by the Federal Government’s officials.

The students, who are being evacuated to Egypt from where they would be airlifted to Nigeria in a video posted on Twitter by a user with the handle @JaypeeGeneral on Thursday, lamented the poor treatment they have been subjected to by the officials handling the exercise.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said on Wednesday that the federal government had spent $1.2 million to evacuate Nigerians from the war-torn country to Egypt.
