The arrests were disclosed on Monday by Migrant Rescue Watch, an advocacy group, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). In a statement, Migrant Rescue Watch confirmed: “CID in Sabha carried out a raid on a reported location and arrested two Nigerian drug traffickers. In a separate incident, two Nigerians, a male and a female, were detained in Bani Walid during a routine health screening after testing positive for infectious diseases.
