FG Debunks Rumoured Harassment of Nigerians in Libya
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram


The Federal Government has debunked a rumoured threat to the security of Nigerians in Libya following a recent ruling by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in favour of Nigeria. The federal government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens in Libya.


Recall that CAF had in a recent ruling awarded the Nigerian senior men’s football team, the Super Eagles, some points and had fined Libya for alleged mistreatment of the Nigerian team during a Nations Cup qualifying match. This outcome gave rise to reports that Nigerians were being subjected to various harassments.


Nigerians were safe in Libya, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry restated the government’s resolve to safeguard Libyan citizens. Libya allegedly mistreated the Nigerian team during a Nations Cup qualifying match, according to the CAF ruling.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to convey that as of the time of making this statement, Nigerians in Libya are going about their daily activities, devoid of any form of harassment by Libyan authorities, following the verdict of the Confederation of African Football, which indicted the Libyan Football Association for their ill-treatment of the Nigerian team and officials while in Libya for a Nations Cup qualifying match.


“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to reiterate that the well-being of Nigerian citizens anywhere in the world is a top priority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and will continue to strive to safeguard it at all times,” the statement read.
