The government said the girls would be evacuated home along with about 150 others waiting to be evacuated from Lebanon.

Recall that the ladies in a video clip which went viral on social media said they regretted travelling to Lebanon.

“We are stranded. Please, we are pleading. We need your help. We are living and sleeping in one room.

“We regret coming to this place (Lebanon); we want to return to our father’s land. Please help us,” they appealed to the Nigerian government.

“As part of the Nigerian Embassy’s Consular responsibility, the ladies on the said video that went viral and many other distressed Nigerian domestic workers were located and relocated to a more safer place.

“Suffice to say that 150 of these stranded victims are expected to be evacuated next week and handed over to NAPTIP, the agency responsible for trafficking.
