Tuesday, October 14, 2025 - Two Nigerians, whose identities were undisclosed, have been arrested by the Libyan authorities for possession of substances suspected to be hard drugs.
According to an X post by a migrant monitor page, Migrant
Rescue Watch, on Sunday, that the substances were identified as hashish and
hallucinogenic.
The page disclosed that the drugs were of commercial
quantities and ready for distribution when the suspects were arrested.
The report read,” CID in Zliten arrested two undocumented
migrants of Nigerian nationality on charges of drug trafficking. The
individuals were found in possession of quantities of hashish and
hallucinogenic pills ready for distribution. “
It noted that the two suspects have been handed over to the
appropriate legal authorities for further investigation and possible
prosecution.
The statement said, “Both individuals were referred to the
Anti-Narcotics Agency for legal action.”
This is not the first instance where Nigerians have been
arrested in Libya for drug peddling.
On July 10 that Libya’s Counter-Terrorism Forces arrested
two Nigerians over alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
This involvement of Nigerians in drug trafficking, many
believe, paints Nigeria’s international image in a bad light.
