Naija News gathered that the evacuees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, at 6:35 pm on an Air Peace flight.

One hundred and eighty-one evacuees were received from Poland at the Federal Capital Territory.

Nigerians were evacuated following the intervention of the Federal Government with the cooperation of neighbouring governments around Ukraine.

According to Aduda, Nigerian airlines; Air Peace and Air Max would transport stranded Nigerians from Romania, Hungary, and Poland.
