STORYLINE:
A total of 174 migrants were deported from Libya to Nigeria on Tuesday with the assistance of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), according to a Libyan official.
Muhammad Baraida, an assistant for security affairs with the Libyan Illegal Immigration Control Department, told Xinhua that the repatriated migrants were mostly women "who tested positive for infectious and chronic diseases."
The migrants were deported through IOM's Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR) program, which facilitates the return of migrants stranded in Libya to their countries of origin.
Baraida added that the voluntary repatriation was carried out in collaboration with IOM and the Nigerian embassy in Libya.
