Temitope Adenike, a budding Yoruba actress, has opened up about her harrowing experience after being sent to Libya by her mother’s friend in search of a better life.
She recounted the ordeal she faced upon arrival, including the mistreatment she endured at the hands of her mother’s friend.
In an interview on the official YouTube channel of Biola Adebayo Ent, Temitope revealed that her mother’s close friend took her to Libya and sold her into slavery, forcing her to work for a group of Ghanaians.
In her statement, she said, “When I had a discussion with my mother’s friend about Libya, she only told me that I was going to work over there for 3 months, but surprisingly, I already spent more than that 3 months on my way to Libya. When I got to her place in Libya, she insisted that I must abort my pregnancy, and she started giving me drugs to abort it. She told me that she needed some money and that she was going to sell me to some people. My mom’s close friend took me to Libya and sold me to work as a slave to Ghanaians. The Ghanaians lived in a three-storey building, and I always cleaned inside the house and the compound every day to the extent that I almost died.”
