Some persons claimed their great-grandparents up to the fifth generation were Nigerians while they were born in Sudan.
The NIDCOM spokesperson also disclosed that the number of evacuees grew from 26 to 200 about the time the Commission thought it was almost wrapping up its rescue operation.
For those left in Sudan who wish to leave, Balogun said, “You must get yourself to Port Sudan. You must have a means of identification as a Nigerian. You must have a verifiable contact or an abode in Nigeria.”
