More than 60,300 Nigerian migrants have been returned to the country since 2017 through assisted voluntary return programmes after becoming stranded along dangerous irregular migration routes.
This was disclosed by International Organization for Migration (IOM) Chief of Mission in Nigeria, Sharon Dimanche, during a media engagement on Saturday in Benin City.
According to her, many of the returnees embarked on risky journeys in search of better economic opportunities abroad but later found themselves trapped along irregular migration routes where they faced exploitation, abuse and life-threatening conditions. See More/Details
