The woman named Jennifer Mande - from a polygamous family - stated that they had intended to get to Italy through Libya but encountered life-threatening challenges that included starvation.

The bitter Libya experience

Mande recalled how lack of water and food forced her kids to survive on people's urine while she went hungry.

Her husband lost his life in the course of the journey that saw the young woman move from prison to prison in Libya.

She discouraged those considering making such trips to desist from it as Nigeria is very much better than their supposed destination.
