The Lagos State government has airlifted 310 Christian pilgrims from Jerusalem back home amid the raging conflict between Israel and Hamas militant group.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Tuesday via his verified social media handles.
The governor, while responding to calls from the pilgrims, wrote on his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, saying: “Good morning Lagos, I’m happy to announce that we have successfully airlifted and returned all three hundred and ten (310) citizens who went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Israel.
“I want to thank you all for your concern and I must also express my joy to our ministry of home affairs for a job well done.”
