Three human traffickers have been apprehended by the operatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at Seme Border Control Post, who were caught with three women intended to be trafficked as prostitutes in Ghana.
Sunday James, who is the Service Public Relations Officer, said this in a statement reported to Channels Television on Tuesday.
According to the report, James disclosed that “the Comptroller of NIS in charge of the Seme Control Post, Olushola Ajisafe, confirmed the status of the victims as being trafficked after a thorough investigation.”
The statement said;
“The victims were deceitfully persuaded to embark on the trip for a job, but on being interrogated they were discovered to be victims of trafficking for the purpose of prostitution.
“The human trafficking illicit business has been on the increase under the various guise, but they have always been discovered by the officials through timely intelligence and operational synergy between officers along the national borders and airports leading to the arrests,”
