An official of NIDO, Dr Akin Awofolaju, told the media that having reached out to Nigerians in that area “So far, we don’t have any Nigerian who has lost his or her life in the hurricane. We’ve reached out to them and they are safe.

“We’ve spoken and have been speaking with Nigerians there; we have been reaching out to them and so far, no death has been recorded among Nigerians.
