Buhari Reacts To Libya Slave Trade

President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to reports of the slave auction in Libya describing it as appalling and unacceptable. The president said efforts have commenced bringing back home to Nigeria, victims who are stranded in Libya or any other country and also rehabilitated.

Using his official Twitter handle on Wednesday, to react to the reports of migrants being traded in action in Libya, the President said everything will be done to protect Nigerian citizens wherever they are.

Buhari also speaking in Abidjan on Tuesday night reacted to the increased rate of illegal migration in Nigeria. Buhari reacting to a viral video on the sale of Africans in Libya, President Buhari said it is appalling that “some Nigerians (in the footage) where being sold like goats for few dollars in Libya.’’

“After 43 years of Gadhafi, why are they recruiting so many people from the Sahel including Nigerians? All they learned was how to shoot and kill. They didn’t learn to be electricians, plumbers or any other trade,’’ he said.
