The government said the girls would be evacuated home along with about 150 others waiting to be evacuated from Lebanon.

Recall that the ladies in a video clip which went viral on social media said they regretted travelling to Lebanon.

“We are stranded. Please, we are pleading. We need your help. We are living and sleeping in one room.

“We regret coming to this place (Lebanon); we want to return to our father’s land. Please help us,” they appealed to the Nigerian government.
