The victims were among the 128 stranded Nigerians repatriated from Libya on Tuesday evening. The victims recalled how their traffickers forced them into prostitution to recoup a combined sum of N6.7m claimed to have been spent on their travel to Libya. “My trafficker paid for the journey from Nigeria to Libya which started on February 26, 2016.
