The Federal Government says 160 women claiming to be Nigerians in Sudan have no passports to fly back to the country.

The Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mustapha Ahmed stated this in Abuja while briefing the press on the progress made so far in the evacuation of Nigerians from war-torn Sudan.

According to him, although the women claimed to be Nigerians, they do not possess Nigerian passports to verify their claims.

He said the agency is being careful not to evacuate persons who are not Nigerians
