The Ministry of foreign Affairs has advised the general public to disregard unconfirmed allegation against the Nigerian Embassy in Khartoum,Sudan of a video going on the social media claiming that the Nigerian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, refused to evacuate Igbos resident in Sudan.

This was contained in a statement signed by Spokesperson Ministry of foreign Affairs, Francisca K. Omayuli on Tuesday in Abuja.

According the statement, the Ministry has has investigated the allegation and assured Nigerians that there was no truth whatsoever to the allegation.

” The Nigerian Embassy in Khartoum confirmed that evcuees of Igbo extraction were among the first batch of 637 Nigerians evacuated to Aswan Border, Egypt where they are presently awaiting their eventual return to Nigeria.”

The Ministry added that, the Embassy noted that before the commencement of the movement of buses deployed for the evacuation exercise in Khartoum there were scffles between the students and other Nigerian residents due to the limited number of buses

However, according to the statement, more buses were made available to accommodate every Nigerian national in Sudan who indicated interest to be evaluated.

“It is therefore, surprising that such a misleading allegation could be leveled against officials of the Embassy who had worked tirelessly on the evacuation exercise.”
