There is an painful story of a Nigerian lady reportedly trafficked to Oman, who is pleading for help to bring her back to the country.
The lady, Oluwatosin Itunuoluwa Adetulu, as seen on her passport, said in a video that her agent had promised to get her a job in the United States but she ended up in Oman.
“Good afternoon Nigerians. My name is Oluwatosin. I am a Nigerian from Ondo state. I am speaking from Oman,” she said.
“When I was leaving Nigeria, the agreement I had with my agent was to go to the US to work. I had no job after I finished my NCE program, that was why I chose to travel.
“The agent said he was going to help me source for a job in the US. All of a sudden, everything changed and I don’t know why. That was how they brought us to Oman. Myself and one other lady.
“When we go to the airport in Oman, two people came to pick us up. They took us to an office and stripped us of all we had including our passports and phones.
“They took us to where we were supposed to start work. When I got to my place of work, my boss started to threaten and frustrate my life. The first four months I worked with him, he didn’t pay me any salary. When I called my agent to inform him, he said it was none of his business as he has played his part. Since then, he stopped taking my calls.
“Seeing how things were turning out, my boss kept threatening me to have sex with him but I declined. With all the stress of the job, I wake up as early as 4 am and work all day until about 12 am or 1 am before sleeping. My boss threatened that if I don’t give in to his request, he would kill me. That was when I said I didn’t want to work anymore and that they should take me back to my country having worked four months without getting any money.
“That was how they took me back to the office and started scolding me. They took me into a room and locked me in with some others. For one week, we were not given food or water. Most of us were drinking water from the toilet for almost one week before they came to take us to work.
“I have been working there for one year and two months and I have been sick. I told my boss that I want to return to Nigeria but he said I can’t return.
“Nigerians, please, help me. I want to return home. I’m sick and my boss says I cannot come back. Nigerians please help me. I don’t want to die in Oman,” she said.
