Edo State zonal commander of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Mr Nduka Nwawene, has hinted that over 20,000 trafficked Nigerians, young girls and boys, mostly girls are currently stranded in Mali.

Nwawenne, who spoke yesterday in Benin  City during the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons lamented that Mali used to be a destination for so many trafficked victims from the Benin Zone, but  added that Malians are now being trafficked to the Edo State capital.

He said, “We just gathered intelligence that victims are now being trafficked from Mali to Benin City. We are currently investigating. Over 20,000 Nigerians young girls and boys, particularly girls are currently stranded in Mali. Mali used to be a destination for so many trafficked victims from this command but the Malians are now coming here.

“We have heard stories of Malian men who are ready to do whatever they can do to meet Nigerian girls but now the reverse is the case. A victim had once confessed that they earned more money going to Mali,” he said.

At the event which was organised by NAPTIP Edo Command in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other stakeholders, the zonal commander, said in the midst of the escalating trafficking issues, global and national responses, appeared to be deteriorating.

He said, “Detection rates fell by 11 percent in 2020 and convictions plummeted by 27 percent, illustrating a worldwide slowdown in the criminal justice response to trafficking.”

Nwawenne also urged stakeholders to collaborate more in raising awareness and striving to promote community ownership of anti-human trafficking drives.

The state chairperson of the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Ms Ann Ojugo said that the association would continue to partner NAPTIP in the fight against trafficking.

Ojugo said that more Persons with Disabilities (PWDS) were becoming victims of trafficking and exploitation due to their specific nature of not having easy access to information.
