Libyan police have arrested two undocumented Nigerian migrants in Tripoli for allegedly carrying out a series of robberies in the city.
The suspects were apprehended on August 25 after being captured on CCTV cameras robbing a convenience store.
According to Migrant Rescue Watch, the organization that disclosed the arrests, the duo had been responsible for multiple break-ins and cash thefts from businesses.
This arrest highlights the challenges faced by Nigerian migrants in Libya, where thousands are stranded due to irregular migration.
The Nigerian Diaspora Commission has warned Nigerians against using Libya as a pathway to Europe, citing the country’s delicate political situation and risks associated with irregular migration.
