The Lebanese Government has arrested its national, Mr. Wael Jerro for onward prosecution over allegations that he trafficked a Nigerian lady and offering her for sale on Facebook.
When the news of Mr. Jerro’s action became public, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) had demanded for the arrest and prosecution of the suspect by his home government, and this prompted the Nigerian Mission in Lebanon to swing into action to have Mr. Jerro brought to book. This eventually paid off when the Lebanese Government announced Mr. Jerro’s arrest.
In a tweet by Managing Director of the NIDCOM, Hon. Abike Dabiti-Erewa on her verified twtitter handle, @abikedabiri, she wrote, “Trafficked Nigerian girl for sale on Facebook by a Lebanese !The Lebenese Government just announced the arrest of Mr. WAEL JERRO for onward prosecution against criminal sales of a human, a young Nigerian girl.
