Last Friday,March 11,about 172 Nigerians which includes 5 women,1 pregnant and a 12-year-old boy were repatriated back to Nigeria from Libya.
This was made possible through the collaboration of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) ,Libyan authorities and Nigerian's Embassy in Tripoli.
They were received by the South-West Zonal Coordinator, Alhaji Abdullahi Suleiman Yakubu with other NEMA officials .
The post shared by NEMA SOUTH WEST yesterday, March 21 states that :"The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in Libya and Nigeria assisted the stranded and imprisoned youths back to Nigeria, because most of them had unpalatable experiences in the futile efforts to reach Europe, some were said to have gone through in-humane treatments and deprivations in Sahara desert and transit countries".
