We’re kidnapped, raped while travelling to Libya, says 21-year-old returnee - Punch Newspapers

“I went from Ojo in Ibadan to Kano and Niger and from there to the desert. When we got to the desert, about 50 of us were kidnapped, raped and beaten and we were told to call our traffickers to come and bail us; she bailed me with N1.2m. When I came out, I stayed in Sabha for one week and later went to Tripoli to treat myself and later came back to Sabha. I paid my trafficker almost N2m to free myself.

“I started working for myself this year April to August where I was collecting N120,000. But the Arab person I was working for didn’t pay me for six months and I left there. I went to a motor park to stay with an uncle, who promised that I would go to Nigeria soon. But the police came to bust our house and collected all our property, including our money and we were thrown into prison.”

The victim, who stopped schooling in SSS 2 before travelling, said she would like to go back to school and locate her father, as she had lost contact with him when the police arrested her in Libya. “I have to wait for the time that my transport allowance would be paid before I can buy a phone and try to gamble with several numbers to know if I can get dad’s contact. I will never advise anyone, even my enemy, to think of going to Libya,” she added.All rights reserved.
