    He said that the command carried out 88 sensitization/enlightenment programmes through radio and television, schools, communities, faith-based organizations, markets, workshops/training sessions, and advocacy visits, highlighting the dangers of human trafficking and other forms of abuse.

    “We successfully profiled 720 migrants returnees from Niger Republic, who travelled out of the country in search of greener pasture during the period reviewed,” he said.

    Babale, who called for the collaboration of all stakeholders to fight human trafficking, cautioned Nigerians against embarking on overseas journeys in the name of searching for greener pastures.

    While calling on parents to protect their children from being exploited and lured into slavery, he also urged the public to report suspicious cases of human traffickers and trafficking in their respective communities.
