Trafficked Nigerian women rescued from Lebanon

(UTV | COLOMBO) – Fifty trafficked Nigerian women have been rescued from Lebanon and returned home, Nigeria’s foreign minister says.

They have all been placed in quarantine following their arrival on Sunday as a precaution against coronavirus.

The country’s anti-trafficking agency will interview them about their experiences after their isolation ends.

Last month, a Nigerian woman working as a maid in Lebanon was rescued after being put up for sale on Facebook for $1,000 (£807).
