The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said the state government was collaborating with the judiciary and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons , to ensure conviction of traffickers.
According to him, convicting the perpetrators and liquidating their assets would serve as a deterrent to others, who were still scouting for vulnerable Nigerians to traffic. He noted: “We have been able to intensify investigation and prosecution. But unfortunately, we have not been able to get any conviction. Not because the prosecutors are not doing their utmost best, but because of the very nature of our legal system.
