                     Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa,the Senior Special Assistant {SSA} to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora,is appalled yesterday sunday that in spite of the mistreatment and killings of blacks,Nigerian migrants still use Libya.She said yesterday that ''I hereby appeal again to Nigerian migrants to avoid Libya as penalty for illegal migration to Libya,when caught,is usually a death sentence''.She referred to a trending video,which though had not been authenticated,showing pictures purported killing of black immigrants in Libya.She further said ''While the authenticity of the pictures and tapes in question cannot be verified,it is a known fact that Libya has been executing alleged black illegal immigrants for years.As the Chairman Committee on Diaspora in the House of Representatives in the Seventh Assembly,we intervened in the case of 24 Nigerians about to be killed in Libya.The Committee,in collaboration with SERAP,an NGO,petitioned the UN,AU,ECOWAS,and Ghadaffi yielded to pressure and released them.The Nigerian embassy in Libya,working with NEMA has relentlessly intervened in trouble in Libya and will continue to do so''.She said that Liyans were dealing with their own struggles as there was no recognised government in place,Nigerians,she warned,should avoid Libya-NAN.
