Ateneo shared the update on Wednesday as Adili and his companions now await the final leg of his journey back home.

“Divine Adili and his companions have safely arrived in the United Arab Emirates and are awaiting the final leg of their journey to Nigeria,” Ateneo said.

“Upon his arrival in Lagos, Divine will be received by representatives of Ateneo de Manila University, the Jesuits in Nigeria, and the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs before being reunited with his family and loved ones.”

Adili’s repatriation started on June 22, Monday, following a public wake at the Arlington Memorial Chapels in Quezon City.
