“One lady by name Georgina [not her real name] aged 25 also narrating her ordeal amidst tears said she had to escape whilst her host was out of town to seek refuge at Ghana’s Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Her advice to the youth was that, they should stay in the country and work and not to be overly interested in traveling, particularly to the Gulf States, because some don’t even live to tell their stories”
