Six Nigerians Arrested in Libya for Alleged Drug Trafficking
Libyan authorities have detained six Nigerians in Tripoli for suspected drug trafficking after they were discovered with large quantities of cocaine intended for distribution.
The arrests were carried out by the Department of Investigation within Libya’s Stability Support Agency, which also handed over the seized drugs to local authorities for further analysis.
Migrant Rescue Watch, a humanitarian organization, confirmed the arrests in a statement.
The suspects, comprising one male and five females, have been referred to public prosecution for legal proceedings.
According to the statement, “The Stability Support Agency—Department of Investigation dismantled a drug trafficking operation in Tripoli, arresting six Nigerian migrants (one male and five females) in possession of substantial amounts of cocaine ready for distribution. All have been referred to public prosecution for legal action.”
This incident follows the arrest of two Nigerians in November by Libyan authorities in Sabha and Bani Walid on similar charges of drug trafficking. They were found with 1,200 hallucinogenic pills and other illegal substances.
