Nigerian women 'tricked' into travelling to Saudi Arabia
Nigeria's anti-human trafficking agency says it has found that many women, mostly from rural areas, have been trafficked to Saudi Arabia and are trapped there.
A team from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons visited Saudi Arabia and were able to identify more than 50 girls and heard stories about ill treatment and appalling working conditions.
The agency's head, Julie Okah-Donli, says the women are tricked and deceived by promises of work but instead are held in camps and displayed on the internet.
