Officials of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, in Jordan, which oversees Iraq, have intervened to return a 28-year-old trafficked Nigerian lady, Eniola Isaac.
This comes after a report on Wednesday revealed that the Nigerian lady was allegedly lured to Iraq under false promises of a better life.
It was gathered that after being subjected to various degrees of abuse, physical assaults and mistreatment from her employer in Iraq, she pleaded with the Nigerian authorities to help her return to Nigeria.
Releasing an update through its official X handle on Thursday, NiDCOM said Isaac’s situation underscored the rising alarm over the trafficking of Nigerians to Iraq through deceptive promises.
“Eniola Isaac, a 28-year-old trafficked Nigerian girl in Iraq, is expected to return to Nigeria on january 3rd with the intervention of the officials of the Nigerian mission in Jordan, that oversees Iraq.
“Another case of a Nigerian who went to work in Irag as a carer and was killed in suspicious circumstances is also being investigated.
“The Nigerian government has demanded an autopsy as to the cause of death of the victim,” it wrote.
NiDCOM warned of unscrupulous agents now wickedly luring young Nigerian women to Irag with fake and evil promises, most of which it said portend danger to the mostly unsuspecting victims who get lured into slavery and prostitution when they get to the country.
