The stranded Nigerians in the Central African Republic CAR have finally arrived at the Nigerian Embassy in Bangui.
It will be recalled that through a viral video, some Nigerian miners called for help, and there was immediate intervention and a swift response from officials of the Nigerian Embassy and CAR security, who accompanied them from their location to the capital.
The journey to Bangui took several days with the Nigerians, victims of a Chinese National and a Nigerian agent who hired them for work in that country and abandoned them there without paying their remuneration for 11 months,
Obviously traumatised, weak and distressed, they had called for help to be rescued.
They are now in the safe hands of officials of the Nigerian Embassy who will arrange their return home.
They expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the staff of both countries, the Nigerian Embassy, the CAR Security agencies and Nigerians who shared their stories.
The agent who lured them into the job scam is currently based in Nigeria and has been identified and is expected to be prosecuted.
