 Eight young Nigerian girls trafficked to Ghana repatriated


The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has confirmed the rescue of eight young girls trafficked to Ghana.

Meanwhile, a 28-year-old Nigerian, Favour Ugwu, one of the traffickers, was arrested and jailed for eight years by a court in Ghana on account of human trafficking.
