Nigerian teenage girls trafficked for prostitution rescued in Ghana
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), says over 10 teenage girls trafficked to Ghana have been rescued.
In a series of videos that went viral on Twitter on Friday, the young girls between the ages of 15 and 18 were said to have been lured into prostitution in Ghana.
They were reportedly rescued by the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO).
Reacting to the development, Dabiri-Erewa said the suspected trafficker has been arrested by law enforcement officers in Ghana.
“These are young girls trafficked to Ghana for prostitution. We thank Chief Callistus, chairman, of NIDO Ghana for ensuring the arrest of the evil perpetrators,” she wrote on X.
The NiDCOM chair said the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) will take up the case.
Earlier this month, Fatima Waziri-Azi, director-general (DG) of NAPTIP, said some orphanages in the country are under investigation over infractions that can be categorised as human trafficking.
