The second batch of Nigerian evacuees stranded in the Sudan war have arrived at Port Sudan after passing the night on the road.
A scary incident occurred over the weekend when the drivers of the 22 buses conveying them stopped at Atbara, halfway to Port Sudan on Monday to demand the balance of their payment.
Atbara, one of the states in Sudan is about 500 kilometres to Port Sudan, where the students were expected to be.
With the intervention of the federal government in the payment issue, the drivers were placated and continued the journey in the early hours of Tuesday, and arrived Port Sudan at about 3:00pm Sudanese time.
Evacuees from other cities also found their way to the port, which has been used by many Western countries and Saudi Arabia.
First to arrive were nine Nigerian students who slept at the RSF checkpoint after their bus caught fire.
Other passengers in the vehicles were fixed up with their colleagues in other vehicles.
While their vehicle had smooth passage, other vehicles were held up after Atbara.
Reports also claimed that besides the students evacuated in Khartoum, there were about 40 students who arrived at Port Sudan on their own
