Air Peace Flight Evacuating Nigerians From South Africa Finally Granted Landing Permit

South African authorities have granted the Air Peace Flight B777, a landing permit to enable it to evacuate some Nigerians from the country.

At least over 300 Nigerians were initially expected to return today as part of the government’s efforts to evacuate Nigerians, in the wake of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
But according to Air Peace, they would be taking off later this evening.

The initial delay was as a result of the airline not obtaining a landing permit on time.

So far, 187 Nigerians have been successfully evacuated and profiled according to their states.

The Federal Government has also confirmed that none of the returnees are criminals and that issues of compensation for victims will be handled by the ministry of foreign affairs.
