In a remarkable success story, 78 Nigerian girls who were trafficked to Côte d’Ivoire have been safely repatriated back to Nigeria. The operation was facilitated by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), marking a significant milestone in the fight against human trafficking.
The girls, who were lured by promises of work opportunities, were instead forced into exploitative labor conditions. Thanks to coordinated efforts between Nigerian authorities and international partners, the victims were freed and brought back home.

NAPTIP has vowed to intensify its operations to combat human trafficking, a crime that continues to affect countless vulnerable individuals, especially women and children. The agency’s ongoing efforts aim to prevent future trafficking incidents and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are brought to justice.
This successful rescue operation shines a light on the ongoing battle against human trafficking in Africa and serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance, cooperation, and legal action in protecting vulnerable populations.
