She also lauded the relevant authorities who facilitated her return, as well as others.
“Peace Busari arrives Nigeria from Lebanon with 28 other Trafficked Victims,thanks to Oyo State Government, NIDCOM, Lebanese Government, Lebanese Community and the Nigerian Embassy in Lebanon for bringing them back home safely,” she added.
According to the Facebook post, the evacuees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja.
The Lebanese who perpetuated the act had since been apprehended by authorities in his country.
