NIGERIAN POLICE RESCUE 46 GHANIAN TRAFFICKED VICTIMS, ARRESTS 7 SUSPECTS FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

The Nigeria Police Force has rescued 46 victims of human trafficking and arrested seven suspects in two coordinated operations targeting cross-border trafficking and cybercrime syndicates. 

The operations were carried out by INTERPOL National Central Bureau operatives in Abuja.

The victims, mostly Ghanaians, were reportedly lured to Nigeria with false promises of European jobs and forced into online fraud activities linked to the QNET network, with one victim paying GHC 30,000 to a key member of the network, Attah Amankwaah, before being confined and exploited.

The police also handed over the rescued victims to the Ghana High Commission in Abuja for repatriation, while Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun commended the collaboration between Nigerian and Ghanaian authorities, reaffirming the Force's commitment to dismantling trafficking networks and protecting vulnerable persons.
