Nigeria-Libya Relations: FG Debunks Harassment Allegations
The Nigerian government has denied reports of harassment against its citizens in Libya following a recent ruling by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in favor of Nigeria. The CAF had awarded points to Nigeria's Super Eagles and fined Libya for mistreating the Nigerian team during a Nations Cup qualifying match ¹.
Despite initial reports of Nigerians facing harassment in Libya, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured that Nigerians are safe and going about their daily activities without any issues ¹ ². The ministry reaffirmed the government's commitment to protecting its citizens worldwide.
It's worth noting that the CAF ruling sparked controversy, with Libyan media calling for the arrest of undocumented Nigerian workers ². However, the Nigerian government maintains that its citizens are not facing any threats in Libya.
