Human Trafficking: 50 Nigerian women rescued from Lebanon

Fifty women who were trafficked from Nigeria have been rescues from Lebanon.

The women have returned to Nigeria and are currently in quarantine as a precaution against coronavirus and will be interviewed about their experiences.

The Nigerian Foreign Ministry said the Lebanese authorities had assisted in securing the women’s release.

Last year, a Nigerian woman was freed from forced labour in Lebanon.

A further 15 Nigerians, stranded in Lebanon due to lockdowns, have also been repatriated.
