UTHMAN SALAMI FROM PUNCH
A 28-year-old trafficked Nigerian woman, Eniola Isaac, is set to return to Nigeria on Friday (today), following the intervention of officials from the Nigerian mission in Jordan, which oversees Iraq.
A statement released on Thursday through the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission’s official X.com handle disclosed the development.
A report on Wednesday revealed that Isaac was allegedly lured to Iraq under false promises of a better life.
After reportedly suffering nearly two years of harsh abuse, severe physical assaults, and humiliating mistreatment from her employer in Iraq, the victim pleaded with the Nigerian authorities to expedite her safe return home to prevent further harm or possible death.
Announcing the victim’s repatriation, NiDCOM emphasised that Isaac’s situation underscored the rising alarm over the trafficking of Nigerians to Iraq through deceptive promises.
