South Africa's most decorated Olympian is back in the pool

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, welcomed 105 Nigerians recently repatriated from South Africa under the church's humanitarian intervention. In a post on X, Adeboye expressed gratitude to God for the safe journey home of these 105 citizens of Nigeria. The repatriation followed the arrival of the first batch of 107 Nigerians whose air transportation from Johannesburg to Lagos was funded by the RCCG.

The returnees are part of an expected total of at least 500 Nigerians to be repatriated under this humanitarian initiative, which was prompted by an appeal from the Nigerian diplomatic mission in South Africa. Adeboye emphasized that the church would continue to pray for the well-being of the returnees as the government completes the necessary processes to reunite them with their families.
