By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Nigeria ex-international, Taribo West said he used his church in Milan, Italy to help homeless immigrants and prostitutes, in order to save and redeem them.

Taribo West, the founder of Shelter in The Storm Miracle Ministries of All Nations, said he used his church as restoration centre for women who were lured from Africa, especially Nigeria to become prostitutes.

The former Super Eagles defender, in Interview with PUNCH,  said God told him to use his personal resources to help the poor and the less privilege ones.

He also noted that when they had rescued some of the women from prostitution, after which the necessary documents were provided for them to stay and get a good job.

Taribo West said, “I used my church while I was in Milan to help the homeless and Nigerians who were taken to Italy all in the name of prostitution.

“God told us to use whatever we generated from our personal income to upgrade the standard and living of the less-privilege, especially those that the society had written off because living in Europe is not easy, it’s like a land of economic refugees.

“We had a lot of immigrants coming in almost every day to the church; most of them didn’t have places to stay, some didn’t have documents to assimilate them into the society.

“What we did was after delivering them, we gave them a place to stay and from there we looked for jobs for them and we helped them procure documents as well.  It was very tough for me, because I spent a lot of money. But it was historical in the Italian nation.”
