The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCom) rescued two Nigerian females who had been transported to Ghana for prostitution. The NIDCom Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, acknowledged this in a statement published by the commission’s Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.
Remember that the commission rescued 11 Nigerian girls who were transported to Ghana for prostitution last week. Dabiri-Erewa stated that the two girls rescued by the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) Ghana, led by the Chairman, BOT, Chief Calistus, are now in safe care.
She further reiterated her call for concerted efforts in combating human trafficking in all ramifications as it is another form of modern-day slavery.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, one of the two girls is from Edo State while the other is from Lagos but both of them reside in Lagos State.
She added that arrangements will be made to get them back to Nigeria and handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
