Nema receives 326 stranded nigerians from libya

According to reports, the Nigerian government has received 326 stranded Nigerians from Libya. This is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to repatriate Nigerian citizens who were stranded in Libya due to various reasons.

The returnees were received by officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. They were brought back to the country on a chartered flight from Libya.

The returnees were reportedly rescued from various detention centers and camps in Libya, where they had been living in inhumane conditions. Many of them had been subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and were in dire need of medical attention and other forms of assistance.

The Nigerian government has been working to repatriate its citizens from Libya since 2017, when a video surfaced showing Nigerian migrants being brutally beaten and killed in the country. Since then, several batches of returnees have been brought back to Nigeria, and the government has been providing them with various forms of assistance, including medical care, counseling, and rehabilitation.

The latest batch of returnees is expected to receive similar assistance, including medical care, food, and clothing. They will also be provided with counseling and rehabilitation services to help them overcome the trauma they experienced during their ordeal in Libya.

The return of the 326 Nigerians from Libya is a significant step towards addressing the issue of human trafficking and irregular migration in the country. It also highlights the need for the government to continue providing support and assistance to its citizens who are stranded abroad, and to work towards preventing similar situations from arising in the future.
