NIGERIAN LADIES IN DETENTION CAMPS RAPED BY LIBYAN IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS SAYS RETURNEES
The quest for greener
pastures had left a sour taste on the mouth of Nigerian Returnees from Libya.
According to News Agency of Nigeria {NAN} many of them were jobless while those
who hoped to cross to Europe through the meditarreania seas was futile.
The Returnees are
appealing to the APC led government under President Buhari to create enabling
environment for job creation for teaming Nigerian youths who after graduation
go for job searching for years with no hope of securing any. This situation has
led to many youths facing life or death in search of greener pastures abroad.
NAN reported that 161
Nigerians came back from Libya on their own without any coercion, through the
help of International Organisation for Migration {IOM} after spending months in
detention camps in Libya.
In showing their happiness
to have reached their fatherland Nigeria, the Returnees were singing praises to
God for bringing them home safe even though with mixed feelings of how to start
from the scratch again. One Miss Bridget Akeamo from Anambra state narrated how
her parents supported her going to Italy as she could not get a job or
admission to tertiary institution. She is home with 4months pregnancy due to
inhuman treatment from one prison to another in Libya. Most of the young ladies
in detention camps were alledged to have been raped by Libya officials who will
not take NO for an answer from these helpless young ladies who do not want to
face torture for their refusal to give the officials their body free.
Many of the Returnees were
tricked by trafficars of being taken to Europe but ended up abandoned in Libya.
They said Nigerians should be discouraged from travelling to Libya because of
the inhuman treatment metted on them.
So sad that some of the
ladies with kids does not know who the fathers of these kids as a result of
Libyan Immigration Officials rapes said one of the Returnees to NAN.
