Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu (also referred to as Remi Tinubu), urges Nigerians to remain vigilant against online scams that she says are increasingly being used to drive human trafficking. In messages reported by multiple Nigerian outlets, she warns that fraudulent online offers—often promising jobs or opportunities abroad—are trapping young people and facilitating exploitation. The First Lady calls on the public to be cautious when dealing with online advertisements and contacts that solicit money, personal information, or travel arrangements. She also emphasizes the importance of reporting suspected scams, including those involving overseas offers. The warning is issued in connection with the 2026 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, observed annually on 30 July, which is marked by public sensitization efforts. While the reports focus on the growing role of online fraud in trafficking schemes, they consistently present her message as a call for prevention through awareness and reporting. The outlets provide aligned accounts of her stance and the general nature of the risk she highlights.
