Video: Our embassy is corrupt, say stranded Nigerians in Sudan as they weep profusely

The fate of many Nigerians stranded in war torn Sudan is hanging in the balance as a result of controversy trailing their evacuation process.

Over 5,000 Nigerian students who were supposed to be evacuated from Sudan had been abandoned by the embassy officials, who reportedly eloped with their families to Cairo, capital of Egypt.

As a result of the closing down of Sudanese airspace, flights meant to convey people leaving Sudan have been landing in Egypt and neighbouring countries.

The Federal Government had made arrangement for Sudan evacuees to be moved to Cairo by road from where they would join flights back home.

The evacuation process began after the warring factions in Sudan agreed to a three-day ceasefire.

News Band reported how some Nigerians were stranded en route to Cario, but the issue was later resolved following intervention of unnamed government officials.

However, the Sudanese warring factions extended the ceasefire by three days, starting from Friday.

But the evacuation process could not continue as officials had fled Sudan.

In a viral video obtained by News Band Newspaper, some of the stranded female students who spoke in Hausa language were seen weeping profusely.

Another male student was also seen displaying a placard with the inscription, “Our embassy is corrupt”.

Meanwhile, since the latest ugly development, Nigerian authorities are yet to comment on it.

Here are some Nigerian students abandoned in Sudan. Out of 40 Buses allegedly paid for to evacuate them, only 27 was brought. Now these ones are abandoned. The irony of it is, the cease fire has been called off, as fighting has resumed again.
