yinlola Solanke, is a Nigerian mother of two who escaped from Oman through sheer guts and the help of a good Samaritan after 10 months of slavery. In this interview, the young graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife, shares details of her experiences in Omanand how she was trafficked to the Arab nation by a close and trusted family member. Oyinlola is now the Secretary of Erelu Eyinade Foundation , an NGO focused on ending human trafficking and child labour in Nigeria.
So, I went to Oman on trust. I went through a person really close to me. She is my sister-in-law. At first she didn’t tell me it was Oman. I was told it was Dubai. When I sent my data page to her, it wasn’t up to seven days before my visa was out. When I went to do my security report, I told the police my destination country was Dubai. I remember telling my in law that my police report was ready and she asked which country did I tell them I was going to? I said Dubai.
I still remember telling them, when I got there initially, to get me a resident card or I wouldn’t work. That decision was also one of the things that made my return possible.
