Poverty, fractured homes and poor parental guide have been identified as some of the factors that spike the rate of child trafficking in Plateau State as the State Commander of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other related matters, NAPTIP, Adole Agada laments the menace in the State.
He faulted the poor attitude of some parents towards their children which pushes the children to want to escape from troubled homes at all cost, thereby falling victim to child traffickers.
“When a child is not properly brought up, that child will be displaced and vulnerable, prone to trafficking. Many trafficked children who pass through our office, tell us that their parents are not together, their father is not taking care of them, or the father married another wife and the woman is maltreating them which is why they ran away from home and get trafficked to various places for odd jobs.
