Some Nigerian celebrities have condemned the modern day slave markets in Libya where people are reportedly auctioned for as little as $400.
There has been global outrage since CNN broadcast a footage showing unidentified men being offered up as a group of “big strong boys for farm work”.
Some of the men in the grainy footage are believed to be Nigerians who wanted to use Libya as transit point for the dangerous journey to Europe by the sea.
The United Nations called on the international community to “unite in fighting this scourge” while protests erupted in Paris and other cities, forcing the Libyan government to launch an investigation into the slave auctions.
With the Nigerian government slow to action, celebrities including Davido, Don Jazzy, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, D’banj and Dakore Akande, have raised their voices to condemn atrocities going on in Libya.
