The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has received 181 Nigerian migrants who returned from Tripoli, Libya, under the Assisted Voluntary Return programme supported by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the Federal Government.
The returnees arrived on Tuesday night and were received at the cargo terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, through NEMA’s Lagos Operations Office working alongside the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons.
According to NEMA’s statement on its X account, the group arrived on April 27, 2026, at about 8:13pm aboard an Air Buraq aircraft.
The agency explained that the returnees comprised 159 adults (64 males and 95 females), 12 children (five males and seven females), and 10 infants (six males and four females).
On arrival, officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service conducted biometric registration and documentation to ensure proper records and smooth reintegration into society.
NEMA further noted that the returnees were provided with immediate humanitarian support, including food, drinking water, medical attention, ambulance services, luggage assistance, logistics support, and counselling.
The agency added that the exercise was carried out in an orderly manner through coordinated efforts among relevant government and partner agencies to ensure the safe and dignified return of the citizens.
