Nigerian lady put on sale and the one accused of murder, return from Lebanon

29 Nigerians stranded in Lebanon, arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Saturday afternoon.

Among the passengers is Peace, the girl who was put on sale for $1000 on Facebook by a Lebanese and rescued by the Nigerian mission.

Also among them is a 31-year-old lady, Temitope Arowolo, who was being prosecuted in Lebanon over alleged theft and attempted murder.

In a brief interaction with journalists, said Lebanon was like a hell for her. She cautioned Nigerians, especially girls, who embark on trips in search of greener pastures outside Nigeria.

She said, “I’m happy being home. Going to Lebanon is like (going to) a hell. Nobody knows that will happen there.

I advise other girls to stay here in Nigeria and try to make it the way the Lord puts them through, because going outside there was like a hell, not only in Lebanon. What I experienced in Lebanon, I pray even not for Satan to experience it.”

Arowolo’s employer had accused her of stealing $5,000 and attempting to kill him. Her prosecution in court had been stalled as the accusers failed to show up, while she was granted bail.

The committee had, however, said it was established that Arowolo suffered abuse and sexual harassment from the husband of her employer, Mahmoud Zahran, during her sojourn in Lebanon.
