Viral genocide video: Avoid Libya or get killed, Abike Dabiri tells intending Nigerian migrants.

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, senior special assistant to
the president on foreign affairs and diaspora,
has warned Nigerian migrants against
travelling to Libya, saying the penalty, when
caught, is death. .
.
Dabiri-Erewa made the warning in a statement
she issued on Monday, following the
emergence of videos and photographs of
Nigerians being killed in the North African
country. .
.
“The attention of the office of the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Foreign
Affairs and Diaspora has been drawn to a
video and pictures being circulated on the
purported killing of black immigrants in Libya,”
she said. .
.
“While the authenticity of the pictures and
tapes in question cannot be verified, it is a
known fact that Libya has been executing
alleged black illegal immigrants for years.
.
.
“As the Chairman Committee on Diaspora in
the House of Representatives in the Seventh
Assembly, we intervened in the case of 24
Nigerians about to be killed in Libya.” .
.
As at two months ago, NEMA, alongside the
Nigerian Embassy in Libya, evacuated over
2000 Nigerians from Libya,” she said. .
.
“The Nigerian embassy in Libya, working with
NEMA, has relentlessly intervened in cases
involving Nigerians in trouble in Libya and will
continue to do so. Libyans are dealing with
their own struggles as there is no recognised
government in place.
.
.
The office of the Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora
hereby appeals again to Nigerian migrants to
avoid Libya as penalty for illegal migration to
Libya, when caught, is usually a death
sentence.”
