Temitope Adenike, a rising Yoruba actress, has opened up about the harrowing ordeal she endured after being taken to Libya by her mother’s close friend under the guise of seeking a better life.
In a candid interview on Biola Adebayo Ent’s official YouTube channel, Temitope revealed that her mother’s friend not only deceived her but also sold her into slavery upon arrival in Libya. She recounted being forced to work under inhumane conditions for a group of Ghanaians, cleaning a three-storey building daily to the point of exhaustion.
Reflecting on her painful experience, she disclosed, “I was told I would work for just three months, but even my journey to Libya lasted longer than that. When I arrived, she insisted I abort my pregnancy and started giving me drugs for it. She then told me she needed money and decided to sell me off.”
Her testimony sheds light on the brutal realities of human trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals under false promises of a better future.
