The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Illela Border Command, Sokoto State, has apprehended a suspected human trafficker, Sirajo Illela, and rescued two women attempting to travel illegally to Libya.


According to a statement by the Command’s Comptroller, Tony Akuneme, the arrest took place at the suspect’s family residence in Yar Kara, Illela Local Government Area, on February 12.


The rescued victims, Maryam Akinosi (40) from Ogun State and Olatunde Abidemi (26) from Oyo State, lacked valid travel documents, and initial investigations confirmed they were en route to Libya.

While handing over the suspect and victims to NAPTIP, Akuneme reaffirmed the NIS’s dedication to combating human trafficking and securing Nigeria’s borders.
