Boko haram came and took my father away - victim

A Nigerian migrant, who was among African

migrants rescued recently by search and rescue

agency (MOAS) claims she fled Nigeria because

Boko Haram terrorists attacked her home and

took her father away.

“My name is Faith and I’m 20 years

old. I lived in Nigeria. The situation

is disastrous. Boko Haram came and

took my father. They terrorized us

every day. So I decided to flee. It

took me three months to get to

Libya,” she said

“We were a group of 26 persons. In

the desert we had a lot of problems.

It was extremely hot and we had not

enough water. Six from our group

died. When we arrived in Libya we

had even more problems. Every time

the police saw us they shot at us. So

when we had the chance to get on the

rubber boat, we took it. I was

praying to God the whole time. My

biggest dream is to get to Italy and

live a safe life without fear.”
