Adeboye welcomes 105 Nigerians after RCCG-funded repatriation from South Africa

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has welcomed 105 Nigerians who were recently repatriated from South Africa under the RCCG's humanitarian intervention. The congregation expressed gratitude to God for the safe journey home, stating that this marks the first batch of at least 500 Nigerians to be returned.

The repatriation initiative was funded by the RCCG, with the first 107 passengers arriving at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Thursday night. The Nigerian diplomatic mission in South Africa had previously appealed for this intervention, and the RCCG approved the funding for air transportation on humanitarian grounds.

The returnees include individuals of various religious backgrounds, not exclusively RCCG members, and will undergo a profiling process before being transported to their respective state capitals.
