28-Year-Old Nigerian Lady Who Was Trafficked To Iraq Is Finally Free (Photos)

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) said Eniola Isaac, a 28-year-old Nigerian woman who was trafficked to Iraq is set to return to Nigeria.

“Eniola Isaac, a 28-year-old trafficked Nigerian girl in Iraq, is expected to return to Nigeria January 3rd with the intervention of the officials of the Nigerian mission in Jordan, that oversees Iraq,” NiDCOM said on social media.

NiDCOM said she was trafficked to Iraq by one Alhaja Shakira in 2024 who promised her a job as a domestic help in Iraq.

She faced an ugly turn of events when she arrived in the Middle-Eastern country. Eniola revealed she was subjected to inhumane conditions and made to work 20 hours daily, NiDCOM said.

“Aside from this, she also had to endure physical and emotional torture from her employers, Soba Akram and his wife

“The couple would use tasers and real rods to inflict harm on her. They were also reported to have seized her phones, international passport, personal belongings and prevented her from speaking about the conditions she was subjected to to her family.

“Through the Hopes Haven Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), her family were able to locate her whereabouts.”

The commission added that it was also investigating the death of a Nigerian who was killed in Iraq while working there.

“Another case of a Nigerian who went to work in Iraq as a carer and was killed in suspicious circumstances is also being investigated. The Nigerian government has demanded an autopsy as to the cause of death of the victim.”
