We were s#xu@lly abused by our Chinese male employers, say rescued Nigerian miners

 Nigerian miners who were stranded in the Central African
Republic (CAR) say they were s#xu@lly abused by their Chinese male employers. The 12 miners were received by Abike Dabiri-Erewa,
chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), in Abuja on
Friday, according to a statement issued by Abdurrahman Balogun, director of
media, public relations and protocols at the commission. NiDCOM, in conjunction with key government agencies,
facilitated the miners’ evacuation from a remote village in CAR, where they
were stranded, to the Nigerian embassy in Bangui, the country’s capital city,
and eventually to Abuja on Thursday. The repatriation process took three weeks. Speaking at the NiDCOM office, Igorigo Freeborn, leader of
the rescued workers, recalled how they lived in harsh, unsafe conditions in the
forest after their recruiters abandoned them without pay. Freeborn said amid 11 months’ unpaid salaries, “we were
homos#xually abused by our Chinese employers in CAR”. “I am not ashamed to say it. I want other people to learn
from it. We were treated badly there, but thank God for sparing our lives to
tell the stories today,” he added. He urged the federal government to help redress the
injustices they suffered at the hands of their employers. The miner said he was an unpatriotic citizen who did not
“think anything good can come out of the country, but we were all so happy to
receive help and succour from Nigeria”. ‘JUSTICE WILL BE
SERVED’Dabiri-Erewa described their ordeal as inhumane and assured
that justice will be served, saying the commission in conjunction with relevant
government agencies would take up the matter. Dabiri-Erewa counselled the rescued men to be of good
behaviour and partner with the commission in its advocacy on irregular
migration and its consequences. NiDCOM provided the miners with cash support to help them
resettle pending payment of their salaries. The workers also received a cash donation from Perchstone
and Greys, a law firm.
