The director of Information Naval Headquarters, Commodore A. Adams-Aliu, said the rescued victims comprised eight female victims of human trafficking, eight male stowaways and two drowning fishermen.
According to the statement, they were rescued between July 9 and 13, 2024, by teams of Nigerian Navy units across the nation’s maritime domain. A sea robbery attempt was foiled within the period.

He explained that the Quick Response Team of the Nigerian Navy Forward Operating Base Badagry intercepted a wooden passenger boat with eight females aged 18-23 on July 9, 2024, en route to the Benin Republic.

Adams-Aliu said following interrogation, it was revealed that a yet-to-be-identified agent was trafficking the girls.

He said the victims were later handed over to the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) while further investigation to identify the agent and trafficking syndicate is ongoing.
