On behalf of the Oyo State government, the Deputy Governor Otunba Moses Alake Adeyemo received 11 returnees from Lybia this afternoon at the governor's office aided by SEMA (Oyo State Emergency Management Agency) with a view to reintegrating them back into the society and provide support. Journalists interacted with some of them but the ladies refused to speak. One of the male returnees, who gave his name as Oluwatobi spoke of the harsh conditions there, how he escaped shipwreck, being duped by a lady of 430k after promising to ferry him to Europe, being locked up in different prisons, etc. He also narrated the story of how Nigerians in collaboration with the Arabs treat them.
He said he is a graduate of the Polytechnic Ibadan and does not mind getting a job. He came along with his certificates. Interestingly, he said if given the chance, he would love to go to Europe to hustle again since there is nothing here for him in Nigeria. The ladies among them hid their faces from the cameras.
