They include 300 males, 83 females, and one infant.

Another 419 stranded Nigerians repatriated from Saudi Arabia landed in Abuja on Friday afternoon.

Saudi Airline, flight SV 3413, which touched down at about noon returned 126 men, 293 women and Children totaling 419 aboard.

The returnees will be screened according to NCDC Covid-19 protocols and immigration clearance.

All returnees were trapped in Saudi Arabia on Thursday after they overstayed their visas and were left stranded.

High unemployment and two recessions in four years have pushed thousands of Nigerians to seek work overseas. But the coronavirus pandemic has reduced employment opportunities in other countries and travel restrictions have left many stranded.

A video circulating on social media in recent weeks had shown Nigerians who said they had been held in a camp in Saudi Arabia for more than three months while other countries had flown out their stranded citizens within two weeks or so.
