JOHANNESBURG - The State, on Thursday, withdrew the case against 95 Libyan nationals arrested at an illegal military training facility in White River, Mpumalanga.

 

 

The group will now be handed over to the Department of Home Affairs for deportation.

They were apprehended during a raid on a military-style training facility last month during a joint operation with Home Affairs.
