18 The Nigerian government has denied the reported harassment of her citizens in Libya, reports Completesports.com.
The government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Nigerians in Libya are going about their daily activities without any form of harassment.
The ministry issued the statement following concerns raised by Libyan media calling for punitive measures against Nigerian workers in Libya in the aftermath of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) ruling on the botched 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture between Super Eagles and Mediterranean Knights.

It would be recalled that CAF awarded three points and three goals to the Super Eagles following the poor treatment meted out to the players and their officials at the Al Abaq Airport last month.
“As of the time of making this statement, Nigerians in Libya are going about their daily activities, devoid of any form of harassment by Libyan authorities, following the verdict of the Confederation of African Football, which indicted the Libyan Football Association for their ill-treatment of the Nigerian team and officials while in Libya for a Nations Cup qualifying match,” reads the statement.
“The well-being of Nigerian citizens anywhere in the world is a top priority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and [we] will continue to strive to
safeguard it at all times.”
