 NIS Rescues 10 Human Trafficking Victims in Jigawa


The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Jigawa State Command, has rescued 10 victims of suspected human trafficking during a midnight operation in Babura Local Government Area.


State Comptroller CIS Musa, briefing journalists in Dutse, stated that the operation, codenamed “Operation Salama,” was conducted on January 12, 2025, at Naira Tsamiyar Kwance in Babura.


The victims, aged between 21 and 30, included eight females and two males from Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, and Imo States. They were identified as:


Alatise Damilola, 29, Oyo State

Ayomide Adeyemi, 24, Ondo State

Wisdom Chikwuemeka, 29, Imo State

Lateef Jumoke, 30, Ondo State

Emyola Adeoye, 24, Ogun State

Soneye Abigeal, 22, Ogun State

Ogunleye Temitope, 29, Ogun State

Osirowo Rebecca, 21, Ogun State

Oniyide Kabirat, 27, Ogun State

Azizat Adaranijo, 26, Ogun State

The victims were reportedly being trafficked through illegal migration routes, intending to travel from Kano to Babura, cross into the Niger Republic, and then proceed to Libya and Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.


The NIS has handed the victims over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for rehabilitation and further investigation.


Expressing concern over the increasing incidents of human trafficking and illegal migration, the Command urged parents and guardians to be vigilant and protect their children from falling victim to traffickers. It also reaffirmed its commitment to combating irregular migration in the state.
