26
year old Abigail, Nigerian lady who said she aborted 320 pregnancies
before she was rescued from a prostitution cartel in Libya (HERE), has died.
Abigail was among more than 500 girls trafficked to Libya for
prostitution by a Nigerian syndicate allegedly led by a couple, Alhaji
Muritala Sanni and his wife Alhaja Lateefat Sanni, who are still on the
run from law enforcement agents.
Abigail was very ill during the interview where she revealed that she was forced to abort about 320
pregnancies
for girls working for the prostitution ring in Libya. She had also
expressed fear that she would die if she exposed the Libya human
trafficking syndicate.
Saturday Mirror reports that Tunde Oshokoya , a human rights activist
and private investigator who worked with the Alliance of Rights
Defenders (ARD), a nonprofit organisation based in Lagos involved in
rescuing three of the trafficked girls revealed Abigail’s death. He
said:
“It is with heavy heart that we
announce Abigail’s passing. She died after a brief illness she came down
with while she was in Libya. Since we rescued her, we took her for
treatment but she gave up the ghost. It is sad that ARD, an NGO took up
the responsibility to rescue and rehabilitate trafficked victims without
any assistance from government”.
Abigail had reportedly
received a threat from the syndicate in Libya that she will die if she
exposed them. In spite of the threat; Abigail went ahead and narrated
her ordeal in the hands of the traffickers.
