Former Nigerian President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been successfully flown out of Guinea-Bissau after heightened political tension in the country triggered security concerns around visiting dignitaries.
Jonathan, who was in the country for regional engagements, was escorted by the Guinea-Bissau military to ensure his safe departure before being airlifted out. He arrived in Abuja on Thursday under full protection.
Sources said the evacuation became necessary following instability in Bissau, where clashes between security factions created an unsafe environment for foreign officials and diplomats.
Videos circulating online earlier showed military trucks escorting Jonathan’s convoy to the airport as armed personnel secured his movement from the capital city.
Nigerian authorities have not yet released an official statement, but insiders confirm that Jonathan was received by security officials upon arrival and is now safely back in the country.
The situation in Guinea-Bissau remains tense, with reports of power struggles within the military leadership prompting fears of a possible breakdown of order.
