The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has expressed concern over the involvement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in human trafficking activities. According to Vincent Adekoye, the Head of Press and Public Relations of NAPTIP, traffickers are increasingly exploiting communities affected by insecurity, such as farmer-herder conflicts, by posing as representatives of NGOs to gain access to vulnerable communities.
The agency has rescued 118 children from trafficking networks, with recent recoveries in Anambra State involving children trafficked from Kaduna State. NAPTIP urges Nigerians to be vigilant and report suspicious activities involving organisations seeking to take children away from their families.
