Another 257 nigerians return libya

According to reports, another 257 Nigerians have returned from Libya, bringing the total number of Nigerians repatriated from the North African country to over 6,000.

The latest batch of returnees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, aboard a chartered flight from Tripoli, Libya.

The returnees, including 134 males and 123 females, were received by officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Nigerian Immigration Service, and other government agencies.

The returnees were said to have been stranded in Libya, where they were subjected to inhumane treatment, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse.

The Nigerian government has been working to repatriate its citizens from Libya, where many have been stranded due to various reasons, including human trafficking, economic hardship, and political instability.

The returnees will undergo a 14-day quarantine at a designated facility in Lagos, where they will receive medical attention, food, and other necessary assistance.

The Nigerian government has also set up a committee to provide support and rehabilitation to the returnees, including providing them with skills acquisition training, education, and employment opportunities.

The repatriation of Nigerians from Libya is part of the government's efforts to address the issue of irregular migration and human trafficking, and to provide assistance to its citizens who have been affected by these problems.
