Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has said that the arrested of the suspect of the ten trafficked girls is now in security custody, while the victims, (eight from Imo State , two from Plateau State) are in safe hands.

NiDCOM Chairman/CEO, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO has again thanked Chief Callistus Elozieuwa, Ghana BOT Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO), and the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana , for the safe custody of the trafficked girls , and ensuring they are well taken care of.

She expressed concern that while these girls are being rescued, more are probably still being trafficked, noting that traffickers need to be arrested, named and shamed.

The girls are expected to return to Nigeria next week and will be handed over to NAPTIP, the agency in charge of trafficking.

The documentation filled by the girls indicated that they were being sent to Ghana to work as “sales girls”.
