More than 200 Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have been returned to their home country, Nigerian officials said.

The 242 migrants landed at Lagos airport on a Libyan airline flight at around 9pm local time on Tuesday. Among them were women carrying children and at least one man in a wheelchair.

Nigerian authorities say they worked on returning the migrants from Libya in collaboration with the International Organization of Migration. (IOM).

Some of the 242 men and women who returned had been in Libyan detention camps while some of them willingly approached the Nigerian embassy in Libya to return home because of hardship there, authorities said.

Abike Dabiri, SSA to President Buhari said the Nigerian government had been working with the IOM, and the Nigerian Commission for Refugees and Migrants (NCFRMI) and other local agencies for the past year to bring Nigerians back home.

Dabiri told CNN that around 5000 Nigerians have come back from Libya in the past year. She said: "The President has said any Nigerian who wants to come back should be brought back, so IOM has been helping out."

Edo boys are champion Libya Trekkers.

Unfortunately, job don cast.

Funny enough, some will still go back.

Any woman that returned with a half Nigerian half Libyan child should be sent back to reunite with her husband in Libya.

MayorofLagos:
Any woman that returned with a half Nigerian half Libyan child should be sent back to reunite with her husband in Libya.

Why? Is the child not half Nigerian?
