However, Daily Trust gathered that some stranded Nigerians were left behind at Port Sudan on Saturday.
A source who would not want his name mentioned but is familiar with the situation in Port Sudan said there were still 92 students left behind.
He said some who have been outspoken about their situation in Sudan were not allowed to board the flight back home. The authorities have however denied this.
