Migrants drink urine to stay alive, says Libya returnee 

Another batch of 152 repatriated Nigerians in Libya arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos on Wednesday night.

The migrants were received by a team of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) led by the South-West Zonal Coordinator, Alhaji Yakubu Suleiman.

They arrived in an Airbus 320 with registration number LZ-MDO.

The breakdown of the returnees shows that there were 69 female adults including three pregnant women, 73 male adults, four children and six infants.

Suleiman on behalf of the Federal Government thanked the International Organization for Migration (IOM) which facilitated the flight for aiding the repatriation of the stranded Nigerians back home.

The returnees were provided with handsets loaded with airtime to assist their integration with their families in the country.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), repatriated over 6000 Nigerians in Libya last year alone.
