Pastor Enoch Adeboye has welcomed 105 Nigerians repatriated from South Africa in the first batch of a humanitarian intervention funded by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, according to Punch Nigeria. The report identifies the returnees as Nigerians brought back from South Africa, but does not provide details about when they arrived, where they were received or the circumstances that led to their repatriation. It describes the operation as being financed by the RCCG and says the group welcomed by Adeboye was the first batch involved in the intervention.

The available information does not state how many additional people may be included in later batches. No further details are provided about the support planned for the returnees after their arrival, or about whether the programme is linked to any government agency or other organisation. The report also does not specify the locations in South Africa from which the Nigerians travelled.

The development was presented as a humanitarian effort. Beyond the welcome and the number of people involved in the first group, the supplied material contains no additional account of the returnees’ journeys or their next steps.
