Libyan Police Arrest Two Nigerians Over Drug Trafficking in Zliten

Authorities in Zliten, Libya, have arrested two undocumented Nigerian migrants for alleged involvement in dru¥g traff+cking.

According to a Sunday report by Migrant Rescue Watch, operatives of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) apprehended the suspects with quantities of hashish and hallucinogenic pills believed to be intended for sale.

The organisation disclosed that the duo has since been transferred to the Anti-Narcotics Agency for further interrogation and prosecution.

“CID in Zliten arrested two undocumented Nigerian nationals over dr¥g traff+cking. They were caught with hashish and hallucinogenic pills ready for distribution,” the statement read.

In recent months, Libyan security agencies have ramped up efforts to combat cr+mes linked to irregular migrants, focusing on curbing dr¥g-related offences and dismantling smuggling networks across the country.
