Punch Newspapers Sections Jesusegun Alagbe In August 2018, after spending almost three years stuck in Libya en route to Europe, Innocent Imagbeghian was finally evacuated to Nigeria. When he left Nigeria in March 2015, he sought to migrate to Italy for a better life. He said he sold his brother’s piece of land with a building on it in Benin City, Edo State, for N2m and used the money to facilitate his travel. But he got worse than he bargained for. He was sold to slavery camps in Libya and forced to work on farms without pay. According to Imagbeghian, the day he was supposed to sail across the Mediterranean Sea from Libya to Europe, they had hardly travelled far when the boat he and other migrants were in suddenly developed a fault in the middle of the sea.
