The Flight conveying 256 first batch of Nigerians, evacuated from United Arab Emirates, UAE, has landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
The flight had earlier returned to the UAE after a woman went into labour midair, and the aircraft had to make an air return 60 minutes into the flight, to disembark her and the baby.
The Emirates flight EK783, a Boeing 777-300 with registration A6-EGO, in which the 265 Nigerians were being repatriated, initially left Dubai for Lagos at around 10a.m., but had to return because of the incident and then restart the journey.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, who announced this through his tweeter handle, also said mother and child are doing very well in the hospital.
