Nigeria\u2019s President Muhammadu Buhari has said all Nigerians stranded in Libya will be brought home and be \u201crehabilitated\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reacting to recent footage showing Africans for sale at a slave auction in Libya, President Buhari said it was appalling that \u201csome Nigerians where being sold like goats for [a] few dollars in Libya\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
He also seemed to question whether Libyans had learnt anything useful since former leader Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2018All they learned was how to shoot and kill. They didn\u2019t learn to be electricians, plumbers or any other trade,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
In the video, released by CNN earlier this month, youths from sub-Saharan countries were seen being sold as farm workers to buyers for about $400 (\u00a3300) at undisclosed locations in Libya.<\/p>\n
Nigeria\u2019s president also vowed to reduce the number of Nigerians making the dangerous journey through the Sahara desert and over the Mediterranean to reach Europe.<\/p>\n
This would be done by providing education, healthcare, and food security at home, a statement from the presidency said.<\/p>\n
Mr Buhari made the comments at a session with the Nigerian diaspora on the sidelines of the African Union-European Union Summit in the Ivorian city of Abidjan.<\/p>\n
