The Semé Command of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) in partnership with Hearts and Hands Humanitarian Foundation (3HF) yesterday sensitised communities in Seme on illegal migration and human trafficking.
Personnel of the NIS and the NGO walked from street to street with a public address system campaigning against illegal migration.
The awareness walk took them out of the border post to some communities in Semé, where they played and danced with the people.
Addressing the residents, the Controller, Seme Area Command, Comptroller Abdullahi Adamu, urged residents to ensure they possessed their correct documents before traveling.
“The awareness walk is to stop human trafficking. Many people are trafficked through our inter lands. That is why we want to bring it to your notice today, especially child trafficking and child labour.
“The Nigerian Child Labour Act prohibits certain activities to be carried out by a child; a child has certain rights.
“We are telling you to say no to human trafficking; say no to child trafficking,” he said.
