THE House of Representatives on Tuesday urged the Federal government to urgently intervene in repatriating the 22 Nigerians who are now stranded in the Republic of Niger, after their escape from slavery in Libya.
This followed the adoption of the motion moved by Hon Balarabe Salame under matters of urgent public importance on the need for the Federal Government to see to the immediate repatriation of the 22 Nigerians stranded in the Republic of Niger having escaped from slavery in Libya.
‎
The lawmaker, while moving the motion, called that the ECOWAS Parliament had recently sent a fact-finding delegation to ascertain the status of stranded West Africans at the International Organisation for Migrant’s camp located at Agadas, Niger Republic, where plights of the stranded Nigerians were discovered.

According to him, “Nigeria is one of the countries with considerable escapees numbering 22, dumped at the International Organisation for Migrant’s camp in Niger Republic ‎ while most of the escapee have devised means and found their ways back to Nigeria
” As we speak, 22 Nigerians are still hanging in the camp with no certainty on how and when they will be repatriated home
” The living conditions of the escapees was not encouraging, with some still nursing gunshot wounds, as well as scars of other inhuman abuses”
‎
He argued that there was the possibility of more traumatic experience for the escapees, in the event that the International Organisation for Migrants withdraw its services, even as their continued stay as stranded escapees was not good for the image of Nigeria as a country.
“The image of Nigeria which currently holds the leadership of the ECOWS is at stake if urgent action is not taken to repatriate the Nigerians…”, he said.
Consequently, the House mandate committees on Foreign Affairs, and Interior to liaise with the relevant agencies ensure the urgent intervention to bring back home the stranded Nigerians and as well to ensure on return, they were trained in entrepreneurship for better reintegration.
