Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady, Aishat Ganiyu, spoke about her experience travelling to Mali.

She said she made the trip because she thought the value of money there will be bigger. Aishat stated that it was when she got to Mali that the people who facilitated her trip revealed that she will be working as a prostitute.

The lady refused, saying that the job she left behind in Lagos was better than the option. According to her, they said she could not return to Nigeria even if she wanted to.
