Human Tafficking: NAPTIP rescue 6 victims, arrest facilitator
The National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) says it has rescued six victims of human trafficking and arrested one facilitator in Kano State.
NAPTIP’s Zonal Commander in charge of Kano, Mr Abdullahi Babale, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Kano.
He said that the operatives of the agency rescued the victims at Kwanar Madugu in Ungogo Local Government Area of the state, on their way to Libya.
Babale said that the victims were two females and four males, while the suspected facilitator of the trip was also a male.
He said preliminary investigation revealed that they were all indigenes of Edo, on their way to Libya for exploitative labour.
Babale, however, revealed that in-depth investigation had begun to bring the suspect to book and return the victims to their base.
