The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has reacted to a video circulating on the social media alleging that some stranded citizens of Igbo extraction were left behind during the evacuation in Sudan.
The Commission, while reacting to the report, said students were arranged according to their state of origin.
The Commission said: “They were arranged alphabetically, and all Igbo states: Abia, Anambra etc, were evacuated before Kano and Zamfara.
“If we went by ‘states and capital’ in its order, Abia and Anambra appeared in the first four.
“Kano, with (most likely the highest) number of students, isn’t even in the first 17 priority list.
“Zamfara, with a significant number, is the last.
“All the five Igbo states appear before Kano.”
