Nigerian Embassy in Lebanon has been called upon to act swiftly after a Nigerian lady identified as Peace Ufuoma was put up for sale by a Lebanese man, Wael Jerro on Facebook for $1000.
Jerro had taken to a Facebook Marketplace group and posted the advert of the lady he claimed was his maid.
However, a woman identified as Renee Abi Saad who saw the grave injustice decided to expose Jerro by sharing the photo of the incident.
She wrote:
"Dear People, come and see what this human is doing. Selling this Nigerian housekeeping lady for $1000. This is NOT OKAY‼️TRANSLATION: Domestic worker from Nigeria for sale with new legal documents. She’s 30 years old, she’s very active and very clean. Price: 1000$‼️
