SOME fleeing Nigerians from Sudan are currently trapped in the desert.
In a viral video on social media, a female student said the drivers have vowed not to continue the journey owing to lack of funds.
“Before we started this journey, we experienced different things. Can you believe that we have been stuck in this desert for 5 hours. We don’t know the situation we are in,” she said.
“We don’t have water. Our money has finished. Can you imagine? The drivers said they are not moving their buses because they have not been paid. We are stuck in the desert. We don’t have anything. We don’t even know where we are. We are in an unknown location and in a very big danger.”
Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Zubairu Dada, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, had said they wanted to utilise the 72-hour ceasefire to evacuate as many Nigerians in Sudan as possible.
About 5,500 Nigerians, including students, were stranded in Khartoum and other cities of Sudan as a result of the conflict.
