Some Nigerians who were recently deported from Libya have said they would hunt for one Charles and others who collected money from them for the ill-fated journey to Europe.

Those who spoke in Benin City were among the 168 Libya deportees that were on Tuesday received by the Edo State Government.

Governor Godwin Obaseki had promised to train deportees from Libya with adequate skills required to reintegrate them back to the society.

Many of the deportees looked skinny and exhausted while some woman had babies.

Some of the deportees said it was one Charles that collected money from them to take them to Europe but abandoned them in Libya.

They claimed that the said Charles had several bank accounts with different names through which he collect money from victims as well as operate a camp base in Libya where Nigerians are kept for days without food.

A deportee who gave his name Alex Otoide said he witnessed the sale of 20 Nigeria girls in the prison where he was kept.

“They sold like 20 girls in the night. It was God that save me. More than seven people died from hunger and thirst inside the prison.

“Can’t you see how I look lean and hungry. I need to go for treatment. I left Nigeria with N500,000 but I spent six months in Libya jail after the man that took my money ran away.

“We were 55 that left for Libya, 25 people died in the desert.”

Osas Blessing said Charles was one of those they call ‘burgers’ or ‘connection man’ in the Libya route.

“I gave Charles N450,000 but when I got to Libya he increased it to N600,000. He is very wicked. He does not care for human live. He is a Benin man. He will say if you die you die. He pushed us into the sea at the wrong time. I heard he just left Nigeria with new passengers to Libya. He has frustrated many Nigerians.”

Another deportee who refused to give his name said another Nigerian only known as ‘Biafra’ was responsible for the many atrocities committed against migrants in Libya.

Hmmm @the bolded

Somebody who can comfortably cough out 500,000 naira still gave it to someone jst to get to Europe, what a dumb! 500k can change ones life if properly invested. Fools!

dis people are fools look at d huge amount of money dey use to cause problem 4 dem self

Hmm, What a life

It all boils down to laziness and greed. They don't want to invest they prefer traveling out because they think money falls from the sky in Europe. I know someone who spent about 1.5m just to enter Europe at the end of the day he had an issue and was deported. Why not invest such money in Nigerian.

How can someone treat his fellow human like shiiit?

This is the reason why I am finding it hard to feel sorry for the people that found themselves in this mess. Money that you're supposed to invest to yield tangible profit, you decide to squander in on a life of uncertainty in a strange land.

Charles cashed in on their desperation, greed and gullibility. I doubt if these people were truly struggling before embarking on their ill-fated journey across the Sahara. The real struggling people won't blow away over half million on a journey of uncertainty, where they wan take find that kain money sef. I suppose they have learnt their lessons the hard way.

May we not use our own hand and money to destroy our lives.

Na only una waka come

Someone said here on another thread, that these people are just lazy, people rained abuses on him. I hope they now understand. How can some dole out half a million Naira just to go on a journey of uncertainty. That money would have been used to start a good business that will expand with time. I hope they have learned some lesson.

i started my life here in nig with 100k, and by his grace am rich but still growing, its not about where you are, but about who you are..
Most people stay abroad nothing less than 2-3 years before they can be balanced financially, forget the cars they return with, it took them 6 years savings to buy it.. mind your buisness here in nig with 500k and you will see what God can do in 12months, well.. thank God you came back with your life. #wastedYEARS#
