Libya’s Counter-Terrorism Forces have arrested two undocumented Nigerian nationals on suspicion of drug trafficking.
The operation, announced via a statement shared by Migrant Rescue Watch on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, revealed that the suspects were caught in possession of illegal substances, including hashish and hallucinogenic pills such as Tramadol and Lyrica.
Authorities also confiscated a substantial amount of cash, believed to be the proceeds from drug sales.
Following their arrest, both individuals were handed over to the appropriate legal authorities for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The statement read:
“Counter-Terrorism Forces arrested 2 undocumented migrants of Nigerian nationality for drug trafficking.

Both individuals were referred to competent authorities for legal action.”
