Libya Returnee, Hope Oyiza Recalls Her Heart-wrenching Experience To Warn Others About The Dangers Of Irregular Migration
Nigerian woman, Hope Oyiza, who returned from Libya in 2017, has advised Nigerians to stay away from the war-torn country.
Oyiza who is a fashion designer and certified chef said she endured serial sexual abuse, was falsely accused by her employer and handed over to the police who tortured her for hours before sending her to prison without a court appearance.
The anti-human trafficking advocate gave the advice in a Facebook post on Thursday, February 1, 2024, as she recalled her sad experience in Libya:
“I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course I won’t open my eyes and let people make the same mistake I made.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course I will keep talking about the dangers of irregular migration.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course I was imprisoned without taken to court.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course I was Kidnapped while looking out for others.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course I have physical and emotional scars that hasn’t faded after years of return.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE, of course the change begins with me.
I am a LIBYAN RETURNEE and my name is LUNA.”
