The Nigerian Embassy in
Lebanon had drew the attention of the country on the advertisement of a
Nigerian girl for sale.
The Lebanese government has
arrested a national for advertising a Nigerian girl for sale on his Facebook.
The culprit, Mr, Wael Jerro
had been on the run as the Lebanese government declared him wanted for such
action.
According to Nigerians in
Diaspora Commission, “The Lebanese Govt just announced the arrest of Mr. WAEL
JERRO for onward prosecution against criminal sales of a human, a young
Nigerian girl.
“A big thanks to the
Nigerian mission in Lebanon for swinging into immediate action.”
Abike Dabiri-Erewa,
Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, had on Tuesday said the Nigerian
mission in Lebanon had since reported to the host authorities on the dastard
act and that a man hunt was on for the man and all out search for the young
girl.
According to Dabiri-Erewa,
on Wednesday, the Lebanese Ministry of Labour issued a circular condemning the
action of Jerro as completely unethical, in contravention of Lebanese Laws and
against the Principles of Human Rights.
“The circular further
stated that legal action will be constituted against him for human trafficking
before the competent judicial authority by the Ministry, in line with its
statutory responsibility.
“The Nigerian mission in
Lebanon has also demanded an immediate hand over of the victim to the mission
unconditionally and, in good health. NIDCOM will continue to follow up on the
matter,” she said.
