The Federal Government has urged Nigerians in Lebanon to evacuate the country due to Israeli forces’ att@cks on Hezbollah and surrounding areas.

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, made the call on Wednesday, October 2, in a statement signed by its spokesman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.

“Worried by the att+cks on Hezbollah and other areas in Lebanon by the Israeli government, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) is hereby advising Nigerians resident in Lebanon to consider moving out of the country now that commercial flights are still in operation.

Nigerians are equally advised to liaise with our Embassy in Lebanon for necessary guidance regarding their safety and rest assured that their welfare and safety is of utmost concern to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the statement reads.
