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. “We pray for peace in Israel and indeed in the world at large.
