Following the recent discovery of modern-day slavery in Libya, a few Nigerian Celebrities have lent their voices to the barbaric incident.
This comes one week after a video footage appearing to show sub-Saharan migrants and young men being sold at slave markets in Libya emerged earlier from CNN.
It was reported that thousands of migrants trying to reach Europe who were left stranded at the Libyan border have spoken of being held by smugglers and forced to work for little or no money.
More findings reveal that youths from Nigeria, Cameroon and other sub-Saharan countries were being sold to buyers for about $400 (£300) at undisclosed locations in Libya.
Nigerian Celebrities like 2Face, Eldee, Nikky Laoye and Uche Jombo have since taken to social media to rebuke Libya over the slave trade discovery.
Here is what they have to say about it.
unbelievable. African leaders must take action immediately. This should not be business as usual… https://t.co/eveyuLQ3MR

..While we’re on the topic of slavery in Libya, I hope we also find time to reflect on the slavery & human trafficking in many of our African homes as well. Those”house-helps” from Benin/Togo whose masters get paid 10k every month to do chores from dusk till dawn. #Slavery
