Libya Repatriates Over 150 Nigerians
The Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration, in partnership with the International Organisation for Migration, has facilitated the repatriation of over 150 Nigerian migrants, primarily women and children, through Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli.
The development was announced on Tuesday by Migrant Rescue Watch, an advocacy group, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
In its statement, Migrant Rescue Watch disclosed, “DCIM repatriated with IOM support over 150 #migrants, mainly women with children of Nigerian nationality via Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli.”
Recall that the Libyan authorities also arrested four Nigerians in Sabha and Bani Walid on charges related to drug trafficking and testing positive for infectious diseases.
