Photo-“I went to Libya to get free treatment for a leg injury but I came back even worse” – Nigerian returnee

Isioma Monye, a father of 4, who was assisted to return to Nigeria from Libya on 5th June 2018, via IOMs first chartered flight, shares his story…

“I was a vulcanizer selling tires in Nigeria before I left for Libya to treat a leg injury i got from a car accident. I decided to go to Libya to get treatment for my leg, after a friend who had previously travelled to Italy, told me that i could treat my leg there for free. That’s what made me embark on the journey but it didn’t favour me. I came back with the same leg injury, even worse. Today,  i have lost everything and i dont know where to start from.  But I thank God I came back alive.’ –
