This incident underscores a troubling trend in the country as NAPTIP has intercepted numerous individuals at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport who were en route to volatile regions in the Middle East.

The Director-General of NAPTIP, Binta Adamu Bello, expressed deep concern over the involvement of unscrupulous service providers in facilitating such illicit activities. She emphasized that harboring trafficking victims is a criminal offense under Nigerian law and warned that the agency would prosecute entities found complicit.

Represented by the Director of Research and Programme Development, Mr. Josiah Emerole, She urged parents and guardians to remain vigilant against fraudulent job offers that could lead to exploitation. She further highlighted that many victims, upon arrival in foreign countries, find themselves in precarious situations without legal protections, often subjected to abuse, withheld wages and possibly death.
