“I Didn’t Know It Was Going To Be This Horrible†– Nigerian Lady Who Survived 10 Days In Sahara Desert After 44 Others Died Recounts Experience by (: 1:49 pm |
A 22-year-old Nigerian lady, attempting to migrate into Europe via the harsh Sahara Desert survived after being abandoned by traffickers for 10 days, has recounted her horrific experience.. According to the International Organisation for Migration, the woman, given the nickname Adoara, was the only female among the survivors of a rescue mission on May 28. Giuseppe Loprete, Niger Chief of Mission for IOM, said;
Recounting her ordeal, the Nigerian survivor said;
After five days, the driver abandoned us. He left with all of our belongings, saying he was going to pick us up in a couple of hours, but he never did,†During the next two days, 44 of the migrants died which persuaded the six left to start walking to look for help. “We had to drink our own pee to survive,†said the woman now in an IOM camp in Niamey, Niger. She had left Nigeria with two close female friends, who both died in the desert. They were too weak to keep going,†she sadly remembers. “We buried a few, but there were just too many to bury and we didn’t have the strength to do it,†Adaora adds.
By the time the six survivors reached IOM’s transit centre in Dirkou, Adaora was unconscious. She received medical assistance, and once recovered, she gave a detailed account of her experience to both the authorities and IOM staff. Adaora is currently recovering at IOM’s transit centre for migrants in Niamey, awaiting her imminent voluntary return to Nigeria. Adaora says she had no idea what the route was going to be like, otherwise she would have never left Nigeria, where she wants to continue her work as a nurse The post “I Didn’t Know It Was Going To Be This Horrible†– Nigerian Lady Who Survived 10 Days In Sahara Desert After 44 Others Died Recounts Experience appeared first on Naijaloaded | Nigeria No. 1 Online Portal.
