NIS arrests four in Ekiti over alleged human trafficking to Italy
The NIS nabbed a 35-year-old Mrs Mary Omowaye at the Command’s passport office in Ado Ekiti on Tuesdays while trying to procure international passports for the victims to travel to Italy for illegal works.
Dibia added that her operatives have stepped up efforts to rid the state of human trafficking, child labour and prostitution in the state, going by the startling revelation made by governor Kayode Fayemi that Ekiti had become a transit state for illicit businesses. “One of our responsibilities is to stop human trafficking and child’s labour. And when these young ladies came to our passport section to get international passport, we interrogated them and we suspected that this could be an illegal migration.
“What we normally do is to arrest people like these, profiling them and hand them over to NAPTIP for prosecution.
