FG plans evacuation of Nigerians in Lebanon as Iran fires missiles at Israel

The Federal Government hinted at a move to evacuate Nigerians in Lebanon as hostility between Israel and Iran escalated.

On Tuesday, October 1, Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel 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.”
