The United Nations (UN) revealed on Wednesday that hundreds of migrants from Nigeria and other West African countries passing through Libya enroute Europe are being bought and sold in what it described as modern-day slave markets before being held for ransom, forced labour or sexual exploitation.
This is coming less than two weeks after it was announced that about 128 Nigerians were drowned in the Mediterranean Sea.
UN migration agency, International Organisation for Migration (IOM), said West African migrants who survived the barbaric system recounted how they were traded in garages and car parks in the southern city of Sabha, one of Libya’s main people-smuggling hubs.
