  "summary": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has repatriated 111 Nigerians from South Africa, as part of a total of 2,037 citizens evacuated since June due to concerns over xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks. The returnees, comprising 44 men, 23 women, and 44 children, arrived in Lagos on October 8, 2026, on a South African Airways flight. The evacuation was funded in part by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which donated $265,854 to support the return of 500 distressed Nigerians from South Africa. This latest exercise brings the total number of consular evacuations from South Africa to 15 since the operation began on June 10, 2026. The Federal Government has expressed appreciation to the RCCG for its financial support and reaffirmed its commitment to providing timely assistance to Nigerians living abroad and protecting their welfare and well-being.",
