The evacuees were the second batch in a series of evacuation scheduled to bring about 4,000 stranded Nigerians back home.
The British Airways aircraft, Boeing 747 BA9155 with registration Number G-CIVO, touched down Lagos Airport at 1.45pm.
The travellers, after the usual temperature screening by officials of the Port Health Services, were led into luxurious buses onward to a designated special isolation centre. The same aircraft that brought in the Nigerian evacuees also repatriated 215 British nationals from the airport about three hours later.
