FG to evacuate over 742 Nigerians from South Africa before June 30

The Federal Government has announced plans to evacuate over 742 Nigerians from South Africa before June 30, following renewed xenophobic attacks and rising anti-migrant sentiment in parts of the country. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the evacuation exercise is already underway, with the first batch of 258 Nigerians successfully airlifted from South Africa to Lagos as part of the voluntary repatriation scheme. The move comes amid reports of fresh attacks and threats against foreign nationals, with activists in South Africa issuing a June 30 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country, prompting Nigeria to accelerate its evacuation plans. The government earlier approved at least five evacuation flights, operated by Air Peace, after more than 500 Nigerians were screened and cleared to return home, with the screening window extended to accommodate more applicants. Officials say about 1,000 Nigerians […]

Australia arrests women linked to Islamic State

Three women linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have been arrested after returning to Australia following years spent in detention camps in Syria. Australian authorities confirmed that the women, all Australian citizens, arrived with a group that also included nine children. Kawsar Abbas, 53, and Zeinab Ahmed, 31, were arrested upon arrival in Melbourne, while Janai Safar, 32, was taken into custody after landing in Sydney. A fourth woman travelling with the group was not arrested. The return of the women has reignited political debate in Australia over how to handle former IS members and their families who remained stranded in Syria after the collapse of the so-called caliphate in 2019. Australian officials said the government did not arrange the repatriation but had long prepared for the possibility of their return. The children, believed to be between six years […]

Nigeria Plans Evacuation Amid South Africa Attacks

Nigeria is preparing plans to repatriate citizens in South Africa who wish to return home, amid rising concerns over attacks targeting foreign nationals. Foreign Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu said at least 130 Nigerians have already registered for voluntary evacuation, with expectations that more will join as fears grow over escalating tensions. She conveyed the concern of President Bola Tinubu, condemning recent violence and public demonstrations marked by xenophobic rhetoric and anti-migrant sentiment. Nigeria has summoned South Africa’s acting High Commissioner and plans to formally express its concerns during a meeting, warning that the incidents could strain diplomatic relations between the two countries. The discussions are expected to address recent protests by anti-immigrant groups, as well as reported cases of harassment, violence, and damage to businesses owned by Nigerians. Odumegwu-Ojukwu stressed that the safety of Nigerian citizens remains a top priority. She […]

US halts immigration applications from 19 countries

The United States government has announced a temporary halt to immigration applications from 19 countries, citing security, documentation, and cooperation concerns with the affected states.​ US officials said the move targets countries that have failed to meet required standards on identity verification, information sharing, or the repatriation of their citizens who are ordered to leave the US.​ The suspension affects several categories of immigration, including some family-based, work-related, and other visa programmes, although limited exemptions may apply for humanitarian or urgent cases.​ Authorities stressed that the measure is under ongoing review and could be lifted once the listed countries improve cooperation on security checks, travel documents, and migration management.​ Governments of the affected nations have been formally notified and urged to work with US agencies to resolve outstanding issues and restore full immigration processing as soon as possible.

Nigerians Stuck in Ethiopian Prisons as Repatriation Deal Stalls

Dozens of Nigerians remain imprisoned in Ethiopia due to a stalled repatriation agreement, with the Nigerian government blaming Ethiopian authorities for the delay. The crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which would allow convicted Nigerians to serve their sentences in Nigeria, has been ready on the Nigerian side but is awaiting ratification by the Ethiopian government. The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, confirmed that Nigeria has "fulfilled its own side of the formalities," and the holdup is from "the Ethiopian side." Reports from 2023 indicated over 270 Nigerians were in Ethiopian prisons, mostly for drug offences. Advocacy groups are raising alarms about the "deplorable" conditions, alleging inadequate food, medical neglect, and brutal treatment. Ambassador Onwuka Collins of the My Dreamalive Development Foundation stated that some inmates have already died from illness and the harsh conditions, urging for […]
