Ghanaian authorities rescue 119 Nigerians from cybercrime syndicates, with 105 repatriated to Nigeria, according to Nigerian officials. Nigeria’s anti-trafficking agency NAPTIP confirms it receives the 105 returnees following a coordinated operation in Ghana.
NAPTIP says the rescued Nigerians are part of a broader effort to disrupt trafficking networks linked to cybercrime. Nigerian outlets also report that investigations and reporting highlight how traffickers recruit people by exploiting conflict, displacement and economic hardship, including children from vulnerable communities in Benue State. While outlets focus on different aspects, all describe the Ghana-to-Nigeria operation and the handover of the 105 repatriated individuals to NAPTIP and the Nigerian government.
