भारत सरकार आणि 'मिशन' यांनी नायजेरियाच्या सरकारसह काम करत २० भारतीय नागरिकांच्या सुटकेसाठी युद्धपातळीवर प्रयत्न केले. त्यांपैकी १९ जणांची सुखरूप सुटका करण्यात आली. दुर्दैवाने, चाच्यांच्या ताब्यात असताना प्रतिकूल परिस्थितीमुळे एका नागरिकाचा मृत्यू झाला. 'मिशन' हे आता त्या भारतीयांना लवकरात लवकर परत आणण्याचे प्रयत्न करत आहे, अशा आशयाचे ट्विट भारतीय उच्च आयोगाने केले.
