RCCG begins repatriation of 500 Nigerians from S’Africa

Five hundred Nigerians were repatriated from South Africa by the evangelical Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on Thursday night. The air transportation for the first batch, costing the church, was made possible after the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, approved the funding for humanitarian reasons. The Nigerian High Commission in South Africa and South African authorities profiled the returnees.

The RCCG's intervention, which covers the air travel, supports their reception and onward movement to their respective state capitals. The returnees represent various faiths and are encouraged to reintegrate into society with the help of government agencies and the RCCG.
