Nigeria has advised migrants to avoid Libya where penalty for illegal migration attracts death penalty.
The office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora made the appeal on Sunday.
Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the SSA to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, is appalled that in spite of the mistreatment and killings of blacks Nigerian migrants still use Libya.
Over 140 migrants and refugees, mainly from Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Sierra Leone
“I hereby appeal again to Nigerian migrants to avoid Libya as penalty for illegal migration to Libya, when caught, is usually a death sentence.’’
She referred to a trending video, which though had not been authenticated, showing pictures purported killing of black immigrants in Libya.
“ While the authenticity of the pictures and tapes in question cannot be verified, it is a known fact that Libya has been executing alleged black illegal immigrants for years.
“As the Chairman Committee on Diaspora in the House of Representatives in the Seventh Assembly, we intervened in the case of 24 Nigerians about to be killed in Libya.
“The Committee, in collaboration with SERAP, an NGO, petitioned the UN, AU, ECOWAS, and Ghadaffi yielded to pressure and released them.’’
Two months ago, she said the NEMA in collaboration with the Nigerian Embassy in Libya, evacuated over 2000 Nigerians from Libya.
“The Nigerian embassy in Libya, working with NEMA has relentlessly intervened in cases involving Nigerians in trouble in Libya and will continue to do so.
She said that Libyans were dealing with their own struggles as there was no recognised government in place.
Nigerians, she warned, should avoid Libya.

My people will still not hear

k

A word is enof for d wise!!! May we not use our hand to kill us by ourselves oooo

We don die here already...

Person we dey ground no dey fear to fall...

I just hope those who are about to embark on the illegal migration would listen. Anyway, you're warned.

Na Nigerians you dey tell? My country people no dey hear word na. They would think our government doesn't want them to go pick up gold on the streets of Europe and better their lives, because our government enjoys seeing them suffer.

That's how they didn't listen to MMM warnings. Whoever tells them the bitter truth is the enemy that doesn't want their progress.

Thankfully, some have ears. I hope they listen to this one.

I hope they hear!

OK na

Improve the living conditions of Nigerians and you will see that they will not think of migrating to Libya or any other country to be killed

But why killing for mare immigration issue

Nigeria remains the best Free Country in the World....

In a bid to run away from the hardship in nigeria nigerians run into worse situations. But seriously of all places one should run to for succor why Lybya. Is nigeria not presently better than libya? Libya was relatively ok when Gaddafi was alive not now. Our government and selfish politicians should equally be blamed for chasing us out of nigeria.

Me wey won move by June, dem don lie for their self bdat

my edo brothers wont hear word

Some people are so stubborn, even if the see their relatives been kill in LYBIA,they will still go.The world population is still many.So let them go so as to reduce the world's population by putting their lives to death.

The day i knew Nigerians are the bravest people on earth was the day my friend "Dozie" sent me an email saying he now lives in "UZBEKISTAN"
