The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Khartoum, through H.Y Garko who is in Charge of Affairs, has advised Nigerian students to disregard the notice circulated by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Sudan for students to converge at the African International University, NANSS office and El-Razi University, for evacuation or to bring $100 or $200 for evacuation.
Garko asked the students to remain calm and stay indoors while the embassy is working on final approval to commence evacuation.
According to the Federal Government, it is still dangerous to embark on a journey toward the borders of Sudan without security clearance and guarantee from the Sudanese authorities.
The Embassy also reassured the Nigerian students that their safety and wellbeing is of priority concern.
Report has it that about 4000 Nigerians are trapped as a result of the fighting between forces loyal to Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Hundreds have been killed since the fight broke out in the capital of Sudan, Khartoum.
