A manhunt has begun for a Lebanese who offered to sell Nigerian woman for $1,000.

Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, tweeted this on Tuesday.

“The Nigerian mission in Lebanon has since reported to the host authorities. A manhunt is on for the man and all out search for the young girl. Let’s keep her in our prayer,” she wrote.

Authorities in Lebanon are believed to be searching for the man named Wael Jerro on Facebook.

The issue was brought to public knowledge after Mr Jerro uploaded the 30-year-old Nigerian woman’s passport online, requesting for buyers.

The Lebanese, according to his profile on Facebook, studied at Arab Open University and lives in the capital, Beirut.

“Domestic worker from Nigeria for sale with new legal documents. She’s 30 years old, she’s very active and very clean. Price: $1000,” he wrote.
