Anambra State Command of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) says, it has recorded over forty cases since inception two yearsago.

The State NAPTIP Commander, Mrs. Ibadin Judith-Chukwu, who disclosed this during a chat with journalists, expressed dismay over the increasing rate of trafficking in Persons the State, adding that some suspected traffickers would soon be arraigned in court.

The State NAPTIP Commander expressed sadness despite the high rate of trafficking in persons across the State, citizens were yet to realise its implications.

“Human trafficking is happening in Anambra State big time. It’s just that the citizens are not aware that it is a river trying to swallow everyone. From selling of children, buying and selling of human beings and trafficking for sexual exploitation.

“There are some spots here where young under-aged girls are being brought from neighbouring states and even from Anambra State and camp in these brothels.

“Men come to sleep with them. I mean, the girls don’t even have control of the number of men they want to sleep with. All that the madam or the trafficker wants is her money,” Mrs. Judith-Chukwu lamented.

She linked the increasing wave of human trafficking in Anambra State and the South-East Zone to the royal curse placed on traffickers by the Oba of Benin, which according to her, had compelled some of the criminals to relocate to neighbouring states, including Delta and Anambra States.

Mrs Judith-Chukwu called for all hands to be on deck for successful fight against the crime of human trafficking in the area, warning that anyone apprehended will be brought to book.

“Cases are not what you get today rush to court tomorrow. You ensure that you have all the facts you need to win the cases.

“We have our lawyers that are NAPTIP officers. We have our trained investigators, who are diligent in investigating and ensuring that the cases go to court. The ones we have gathered, the ones we have investigated, very soon, we will begin prosecution,” the NAPTIP boss stated.
