Nigeria’s National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) says it has rescued 156 suspected trafficking victims within six months and has repatriated 300 Nigerians from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. The agency’s Director-General, speaking on its operations, also warns that traffickers increasingly use digital tactics to recruit and exploit people. NAPTIP says the new methods can target tech-savvy individuals, who may be lured by online promises linked to scams and illegal recruitment connected to travel or work abroad. The agency’s statements highlight both domestic rescues and cross-border efforts involving returns from neighbouring countries. While the reports focus on the numbers of victims rescued and repatriated, they also emphasize ongoing risk from evolving trafficking techniques, including online deception. The developments are presented as part of NAPTIP’s broader mandate to prevent trafficking, rescue victims, and coordinate actions that reduce opportunities for traffickers to move victims internationally.
