Deportation of Nigerians from Libya continues as another 171 Nigerians were deported back to the country
According to TheCable News, a total of 171 Nigerians, comprising 95 females and 76 males, have returned to the country from Libya on
Tuesday.
It was learnt that the returnees are currently at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, where they are being attended to by officials of the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA)and some other
agencies.
The plane, which conveyed them from the North
African country, landed around 4:15pm.
Recall that last week, 241 Nigerians were forced
to return home as a result of the harrowing
experience in Libya.
Gift Peters, one of the returnees, had told
reporters that she was deceived of being taken
to Germany.
“When I got to Libya, it was not in my mind to
continue with the journey. So I asked the person
that took me to return me to Nigeria but he
started maltreating me and sold me to someone
who has a connection house in Libya where we
were maltreated daily.
“If we don’t want to work, they will start
maltreating us. They will do something to you that
you will wish to die. Those who they sold us to,
sometimes, use iron and start burning us. At
times, they will instruct our fellow ladies to
urinate for us to drink,” she had said.
