It would be recalled that there was outrage on social media on Wednesday over the Lebanese identified as Wael Jerro who on Facebook put up a sales advert of the 30-year-old Nigerian woman named Busari Peace.
He put a price tag of $1,000 on the Nigerian woman who is from Oyo State. Wael Jerro was arrested after a manhunt was launched.
The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, announced his arrest via her Twitter handle on Thursday, April 23.
