Operatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) have
stopped the trafficking of three Nigerian girls to Ghana for prostitution and
also arrested 6 suspected traffickers.
The status of the
victims have been confirmed by the Comptroller of NIS in charge of the Seme
Control Post Olushola Ajisafe, as disclosed in a statement released by the
agency's Public Relations Officer, Sunday James.
The statement partly read;
“The victims were
deceitfully persuaded to embark on the trip for a job, but on being
interrogated they were discovered to be victims of trafficking for the purpose
of prostitution.
“The human trafficking illicit business has been on the
increase under the various guise, but they have always been discovered by the
officials through timely intelligence and operational synergy between officers
along the national borders and airports leading to the arrests."
Parents were also urged to keep an eye on their kids,
especially their teenage children.
