FG prepares evacuation plan over Iran-Israel conflict in Lebanon

As tensions between Israel and Iran spiral into a full-blown conflict, the Nigerian government is making moves to evacuate its citizens from Lebanon.

With Iran launching 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1 in retaliation for the deaths of Iran-backed militant leaders, the surrounding region, including Lebanon, is at risk of being drawn into the escalating violence.

Lebanon, caught between the crossfire of the conflict, has become a potential hotspot as both Israeli and Iranian forces ramp up military actions.

In response to the growing threat, Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, issued an urgent call on X.com, urging Nigerians in Lebanon to contact the Nigerian mission for profiling and documentation in preparation for evacuation.

With Lebanon now at the frontlines of a possible wider Middle Eastern conflict, the Nigerian government is acting swiftly to ensure the safety of its citizens, reflecting the high stakes involved in the rapidly intensifying Israel-Iran confrontation. The call for evacuation highlights the gravity of the situation as the violence threatens to spill over into neighboring countries.
