Libya Government Apprehends, Deports Over 300 Nigerians Heading For Europe
War-torn Libya on Tuesday deported no fewer than 320 Europe-bound stranded Nigerians with the International Organisation for Migration coordinating moves to help the migrants return to Nigeria. Following a protracted war in the country, Libya has become a key departure point on North Africa’s Mediterranean coast for migrants, mainly from other parts of Africa, risking dangerous sea voyages in hopes of reaching Europe.
