Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has intercepted in Abuja 10 suspected victims of human trafficking, purportedly being sponsored for illegal migration abroad.<\/p>\n

The victims were accosted at Zuba motor park, Abuja, by officers of the FCT Command of the NSCDC, following a tip off on their return from Minna, Niger State, where they had gone to process their international passport as directed by their sponsor.<\/p>\n

The victims, whose ages bracket were between 24 and 34 years, consisted of a male and nine females, and all claimed to be indigenes of Ondo State.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that each of them paid N80,000 to facilitate the procurement of the International passport.<\/p>\n

According to a statement on Monday by the spokesman of the FCT Command of the NSCDC, Samuel Idoko, the intercepted persons also confessed to being promised migration abroad to undertake ready made jobs, especially in North Africa and Canada by a yet to be identified sponsor who according to them, resides in Okitipupa, Ondo state.<\/p>\n

While handing over the 10 suspected victims to the Nigeria Agency for the prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP), the FCT Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, warned Nigerians on the dangers of illegal migration abroad.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBe careful of the types of people that are promising you a better future abroad, don\u2019t be desperate because, some of them end up ruining your lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey deceive you and collect huge sums of money from you that there are ready made jobs, whereas, you may end up in slavery or forced to be sex workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you must travel abroad, follow the right channel that\u2019ll give you rest of mind, don\u2019t allow somebody to seize your international passport abroad, and place you under an oath that you\u2019ll regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Commandant further stated that, the victims were handed over to NAPTIP being the agency in charge of human trafficking to carry out further investigations and actions within the ambit of the law.<\/p>\n
