The Federal Government of Nigeria is planning to evacuate Nigerians from Lebanon due to the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. This decision comes after Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1, 2024, in response to the killings of Iran-backed militant leaders.
Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan lie between Iran and Israel and would be affected by the violence.
In a message on X.com on Tuesday evening, the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, through his handle, @DOlusegun, said: “Alert! All Nigerians in Lebanon are expected to get in touch with the Nigerian mission for profiling and documentation and subsequent evacuation.”
