Attack on Lebanon: NiDCOM advises Nigerians to move to safer places

Abuja, Oct. 3, 2024 – Worried by the attacks on Hezbollah and other areas in Lebanon by Israeli government, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has advised Nigerians resident in Lebanon to move out now that commercial flights are still operating.

NiDCOM, in a statement, said it gave the advice in spite of the information from the Nigerian community in Lebanon that most Nigerians had relocated from the southern part and are now relatively safe.

It advised that all Nigerians should keep themselves safe until there would be a ceasefire.

“It is gratifying to note that thus far, no Nigerian has witnessed any form of accident or injury and wish to advise them to continue to remain safe while the war lasts. 

“Nigerians are equally advised to liase with our Embassy in Lebanon for necessary guidance regarding their safety and be rest assured that their welfare and safety is of utmost concern to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” NiDCOM said.    (GBN)
