The Nigerian government issued a travel guideline on Wednesday asking its citizens to leave Lebanon or move to safer locations as soon as possible.
The government, through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), said it is worried by the Israeli attacks on Lebanon which Israel says is targeted at Hezbollah but has caused hundreds of civilian deaths.
NIDCOM advises Nigerians resident in Lebanon to consider moving out of the country now that commercial flights are still in operation, the agency’s spokesperson, Abdulrahman Balogun, said in a statement.
