Sudan: Evacuating Nigerians Earlier Than Wednesday Would Have Been Risky, Onyeama Says

Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, in an interview on ARISE News on Wednesday, said it was safer for evacuation to started Wednesday morning and not earlier so as to ensure the security of Nigerians in Sudan.

According to Onyeama  “For us the security of Nigerians was a priority, we didn’t want to take any unnecessary risk. Especially after a French convoy was attacked as they were embarking on a similar journey.”
