271 more Nigerians evacuated from South Africa to arrive Friday

The Nigerian government has announced that 271 Nigerians affected by xenophobic protests in South Africa will be evacuated to Lagos, arriving on Friday, July 3, 2026. This marks the third evacuation flight, bringing the total number of evacuated Nigerians to 593 since the operation began. The first group of 258 arrived on June 11, and a second batch of 269 came on June 30 after delays. A philanthropist covered the costs for 66 individuals, while the government funded the rest. The ministry denied allegations that officials demanded money for the evacuation, stating all flights were fully paid for by the federal government. They also praised the cooperation of various agencies involved in the process.

Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): The article presents a factual update on the government's evacuation efforts without overtly favoring any political stance. It includes official statements, clarifications, and acknowledges both government action and external contributions (like the philanthropist). There is no clear ideological sl抗
