The Federal Government has evacuated a total of 1,424 Nigerians who took refuge at the Nigerian Embassy in Bangui, Central African Republic (CAR) following the political crisis that engulfed the country says the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Alhaji Mohammad Sani-Sidi on Monday in Abuja.
He said that although the Federal Government had brought all the Nigerians who took refuge at its embassy in Bangui home the evacuation would resume if more Nigerians appeared.
Sani-Sidi said all the evacuees were interviewed and confirmed to be Nigerians before they were evacuated.
Sani-Sidi received the last batch of 147 evacuees on Sunday night in Abuja.
The first batch of 365 evacuees arrived at the Nnamdi Arzikiwe International Airport Abuja on Jan. 3.
