A Libyan driver was apprehended in the Bishr area on Tuesday for attempting to smuggle six undocumented female migrants of Nigerian nationality.
The arrest was made during routine police patrols, which intercepted the vehicle and detained the driver.
Migrant Rescue Watch, an organisation that monitors migrant activities, disclosed the incident on social media.
According to their report, the driver, who is suspected of being involved in human trafficking, falsely claimed that the Nigerian nationals were his family members in an effort to evade arrest.
All individuals involved have been transferred to the Bishr Police Department for further legal action as authorities continue to investigate the case.
