Lagos government evacuates 310 Nigerians from Israel

The Lagos State Government claims to have flown 310 Nigerians who traveled to Jerusalem, Israel, for a pilgrimage back to their country.

This was communicated by the governor on Tuesday in a tweet.

The Nigerians had to leave because of the current conflict in Israel.

The Israeli air force has murdered hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza in retaliation airstrikes.

"I'm happy to announce that we have successfully airlifted and returned all three hundred and ten (310) citizens who went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Israel.

"I want to thank you all for your concern and I must also express my joy to our Ministry of Home Affairs for a job well done.

"We pray for peace in Israel, and indeed the world at large." Sanwo Olu wrote on X.
