“Victims of inward trafficking were 45, that is victims trafficked into Nigeria; Returned victims from abroad were 251 and Intercepted victims were 1,484, that is, those who were on their way out of Nigeria.

“Most of these victims are trafficked by road through our borders all across the country. We also secured 80 convictions in 2022; 45 males and 35 females.”

She said for 2023, the agency already has 17 convictions and, cumulatively, it has secured 592 convictions since its first conviction in 2004, adding that they also have 262 cases in various courts across the country.

She thanked the Canadian government for supporting the efforts of the federal government noting that the Canadian government has recently supported several strategic interventions targeted at controlling the scourge of human trafficking in Nigeria and has remained one of NAPTIP’s dependable partners and allies.

“One of such strategic intervention is the 2018 and 2021projects which supported the co-development of a NAPTIP strategic communication policy; the training of NAPTIP’s officers on result-oriented and impactful communication strategies; data collection and analysis on trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants and the conceptualisation and implementation of the NAPTIP On the Move Against Trafficking in Persons Road Campaign.

 

“This road campaign was aimed at sensitising three luxury bus companies;ABC, GUO, and Cross Country on the dangers of human trafficking, how to identify potential victims; and information on NAPTIP’s reporting channels,” she said.
