The sad development that has left African leaders devastated appears to be a boom for the auctioneers who in the videos can be heard shouting prices, before one of the men is sold for 1,200 Libyan dinars – the equivalent of about $800 or £665.

Meanwhile, Ghana managed to facilitate the airlifting of one hundred and twenty-seven (127) migrants who were in various detention centres into the country on Wednesday after being arrested by Libyan authorities.

 Air Libya and Afriqiya Airways brought in all the 127 after being   escued from detention centres in Libya following CNN’s footage of migrants being auctioned off as slaves in Libya.

Some claimed colleague Ghanaians are responsible for their predicament as they were reported to be neck-deep in the illicit trade
