According to a Nigerian in Libya who chatted with our reporter this morning via WhatsApp, the raid has entered its third day. So far, Nigerians in Tripoli with their children have been taken to prison.
In a voice note sent by our source, the security forces will be at Deerebi, Sujuma and Sharadarsh to carry out ferocious raids later in the day asking Nigerians in these areas to vacate the places. Places that have been raided by the security forces include Guruji, SharaAshra, Aislamin, Sharakolowat and the De garage.
The source is, however, calling on the Nigerian government to come to their rescue for urgent evacuation before things get worse.
“Help us before it gets out of hand, because people that were arrested will be in prison with little children, if there’s a way to move us out of the country,” the source said.
According to the source, Mr Hassan Peppe, Special Assistant, on Social Media to Governor of Yobe State, has been contacted but he is yet to respond as at the time of this report.
