A 23-year-old Nigerian woman identified as Osarugbe, has d!ed in Libya.
She passed away at about 11:33am on Friday, April 4, 2025 after battling illness.
Anti-human trafficking advocate, Yakubu Oyiza and her team had been raising money to bring her back to Nigeria for better medical treatment as hospitals in Libya rejected her.
According to Oyiza, documents for burial, autopsy, and land to bury her in Libya have been arranged, all costing approximately 350,000.
She alleged that the family abandoned her since she fell sick and had earlier refused to go to Kano and pick her up the day she was supposed to be brought back to Nigeria.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, April 5, Oyiza revealed that some family members of the deceased called them asking for Osas’ properties.
“Since yesterday that I called Osa’s family and told them their sister passed, they haven’t called me back to ask how far,” she wrote.
“We sent 350k for her burial (to Libya) which they are still asking for more but guess what? Osas’ family is calling for us her properties.
“They want her properties, we haven’t laid this girl to rest but they are making trouble with us for someone I don’t know for properties.
“Most of these young girls that run to Libya have something chasing them. I am devastated.”
