Japa: How My Blood Was Drained Monthly In Libya – Mercy
Mercy, a Nigerian woman from Kogi State, shared her harrowing experience as a migrant worker in Libya on ARISE TV. Desperate to pay for her sick mother's kidney treatment, she sold family property and traveled to Libya, lured by promises of better opportunities. Instead, she endured four years of exploitation, including 18 months of unpaid labor to repay her agent. She recounted maltreatment, job changes, and ultimately, being confined for a year in a home where her blood was drawn monthly without consent, later discovering it was being used for her employer's mother's transfusions. Mercy warned others against taking the same dangerous path to seek work abroad.
