First Special Reinforcement Unit (FSRU), a militia linked to Libya's interior ministry has said it seized the daughter of former spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi for her own protection.
According to BBC News, the FSRU claims they seized Anoud Abdullah al-Senussi to prevent her from being kidnapped by a rival group.
Senussi was taken as she left a Tripoli prison on Monday afternoon after finishing a 10-month sentence for using a forged passport.
A member of her tribe says she is in good condition.
Abdelgader Ibn Gassim from the same Magarha tribe said, "We hope that she will be released in the next day or two. She's in Tripoli at one of the security forces headquarters".
Mr Senussi is in jail for his alleged role in crimes committed during the rule of Muammar Gaddafi. He is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has accused him of responsibility for crimes against humanity during the uprising that ousted Gaddafi in 2011.
