Nigerians in Libya have voiced their outrage over the arrest of a Nigerian woman accused of kidnapping her employer’s maid in Tripoli.

As reported by Libya Observer on March 26, 2025, the woman, who works as a housemaid, was apprehended by police in the Ain Zara district for allegedly taking a child.

Many Nigerians commented online to refute the allegations, claiming it might be a setup and that there could be more to the story. Some suggested that the arrest was a tactic to avoid paying her salary, while a few even argued that the child was hers.

“Ramadan is almost over so it’s time to pay salaries so, they’re now framing ugly stories making their shagalas look bad, they go far as imprisoning them just because they don’t want to pay them! Osim kidnap,” one Nonye Smart wrote.
