There are indications that close to 80 migrants including Nigerians may have died after a detention centre was hit by an airstrike early Wednesday, July 3, 2019, an official of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) was quoted as saying.

IOM is an intergovernmental organization that provides services and advice concerning migration to governments and migrants, including internally displaced persons, refugees, and migrant workers.

According to Radio 2000, it was gathered that “the death toll from an airstrike in Libya could be much higher than originally reported.”

The source also quoted the Director, Media and Communication Division of IOM Leonard Doyle as saying, “up to 80 Africa migrants could have been killed when the airstrike hit a detention centre on the outskirts of the capital Tripoli.”

An initial report on the incident confirmed that 40 people mostly from Africa countries including Nigerians were killed by the attack at early morning Wednesday.

IOM Mission in Nigeria that confirmed the figure as reported by the Vanguard said the attack occurred at the Tajoura Detention Centre in Tripoli, Libya.

Chief of Mission, Mr Franz Celestin, who didn’t disclose the number of Nigerians that were killed by the deadly attack said he was appalled to wake up to the news of an air strike in Libya that killed at least 40 migrants, including Nigerians.

He called on the Libyan authority to discontinue further detention of migrants in the war-torn Arabian country so as not to endanger their lives.

At the time of this report, Washington Post has officially confirmed that the number of casualties has risen to 44.

It isn’t the first time the refugee/migrants detention camp would be attacked. There have been cases of multiple airstrikes on or near detention centres across Tripoli since the conflict started in the city in early April.

itearhertoto is that you

Omg! May their souls rest in peace. From frying pan to fire.
God intervene in Africa, and give us forward thinking leaders that will transform Africa.

With all the death gist people still go to libyan. Well served them right

Why can't inhabitants of majority of African countries cohabit together in peace?.

It's all over Al-Jazeera and BBC....what the world should be a concern about is to challenge the legitimacy of the right that those present occupants (Arabs) in those north African countries as this isn't the first they have been killing blacks, they wiped out all the native blacks who were the original indigines of those places now called Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt and parts of Ethiopia. Blacks who get killed and maltreated once they get to the point of no return in this Arab-usurped lands, despite scaling thru several obstacles in the perilous journey across the maghrebs are those who aren't aware of the hatred them Arabs forever have for all blacks.

Someone ask the commenters below me that how does what he wrote related to the senseless killings of blacks in Libya ? It is those who were even trying to escape where gunned down by Libyan guards...TheWordists and anonymous1759 try stay on topic next time rather than bore us with what you think did and didn't happen between Gadafi and his many enemies

Colonel haftar after backstabbing your brother Gaddafi all for the sake of your USA puppet masters you now have the guts to seek power for yourself after your puppet masters ditched your silly ass. Oh how the table turns.
