Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saadi entered the territory of Libya’s southern neighbour Niger on Sunday, Niger’s justice minister said. “He was in a convoy of nine people. They were intercepted heading in the direction of Agadez,” Marou Adamou told a news conference, referring to the northern town through which at least two previous convoys of Gaddafi loyalists have entered in the past week. Adamou said the convoy with Saadi was intercepted by Nigerien soldiers who had been patrolling the Sahara. “We were not informed of their arrival,” said Adamou. He said he expected them to be transferred to the capital Niamey on Monday or Tuesday.
