Intelligence Sharing Needed To Combat Human Trafficking – NAPTIP
By Oladipupo Mojeed
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has called for intelligence sharing between Nigeria and European countries.
The agency believes the collaboration would help to combat the menace of human trafficking.
Julie Okah-Donli, the newly appointed Director-General of NAPTIP , made the appeal when she received Finland Ambassador to Nigeria, Jirjo Suomela-Chowdhury, who led a team on a visit, on Monday in Abuja.
The DG said there must be sustained cooperation, capacity building, surveillance as well as intelligence sharing.
Admitting that this issue is presently a global concern, she expressed worry over the plights of Nigeria-Europe bound migrants especially on the issues of illegal migrants.
Okah-Donli said there must be an increased collaboration between the governments of Finland and Nigeria in order to reduce the menace of human trafficking.
