No fewer than 385 American citizens were evacuated through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport on Monday over the coronavirus pandemic.
The Americans departed the country in an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 777-300 via Addis Ababa to Washington DC.
It would be recalled that the American citizens were last Friday stranded at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
KAFTAN Post gathered that the aircraft that was supposed to evacuate them from Nigeria failed to arrive.
Sources said the aircraft was forced to return to the US after takeoff due to issues with the crew.
KAFTAN Post also learnt that 200 Canadians were evacuated around the same time.
The Canadians, KAFTAN Post was reliably informed, left the country in a B767 Aircraft via Lagos and Abuja to Addis Ababa to Toronto, Canada.
