What do you know about Ibejulekki and Slavery❓
Lagos HInterland Slave Musuem
Over the course of three centuries, more than 500,000 Africans were sold into slavery through Badagry's coast.
From the 16th Century till its abolition in 1886, the coastal town of Badagry, now a part of Lagos State, was the final point of departure for indigenes who were sold into slavery.
Decades ago, millions from the hinterland were bundled into ships and delivered to traders in European and American markets.
Today, it has become a destination for tourists who want a slice of its well-preserved ties to the transatlantic slave trade.
