The Initiative for Youth Awareness on Migration, Immigration, Development and Re-integration
(IYAMIDR), has raised alarm that over 300 Nigerian girls are languishing in different prisons in Libya.
It called on the Federal Government to exploit the
bilateral pact with the Libyan Government to secure
their release.
President of IYAMIDR, Solomon Okoduwa, who
briefed newsmen in Benin City, Edo State on the hardship faced by Nigerians in Libya since the war
in that country, thanked the Founder of All Nation for
Christ Synagogue, Pastor T.B Joshua for assisting
hundreds of returnees with cash as rehabilitation
packages, noting the need for the Federal
Government to intervene. Okoduwa, who fled Libya during the 2011 uprising,
said that the Nigerian girls in Libyan prisons were
being asked to pay between $400 and $600 through agents believed to be working for the Libyan
authorities before they can secure their release.
He urged the Federal Government to review her
foreign policy with a view to ensuring adequate
protection of Nigerian Citizens in the Diaspora.
According to him: “Government should as a matter of urgency expedite action by coming to the aide of
her citizen, who are willing to return to the country.
Apart from the girls, who are being molested every
day, we have 700 other Nigerians held at the Libyan maximum prison in Tripoli while others are in Sabha,
and Gharian prisons situated about 50 kilometres
from Tripoli.”
He noted that in order to discourage Nigerian youths
from travelling illegally to foreign countries,
Okoduwa said the group had acquired 17.666 hectares of oil palm land located in Ugbogui community in Ovia South West Local Government
Area of Edo State and appealed to government to
assist in ensuring that the youths were equipped. Source:http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/300-nigerian-girls-languish-libyan-prisons
