 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 BENUE HUMAN TRAFFICKING CRISIS DEEPENS AS GIRLS LURED ABROAD 


Concerns are intensifying in Benue State following reports that young girls are being lured abroad under false promises of jobs, only to face exploitation. The trend has sparked fresh questions about enforcement gaps and the vulnerability of local communities.


Human trafficking remains a persistent issue in Nigeria, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas. Benue has increasingly come under scrutiny, with reports suggesting a steady rise in cases involving young women and underage girls.


Findings indicate that traffickers often pose as job recruiters, promising opportunities in countries such as Ghana, Mali, and Libya. Victims are reportedly transported through major hubs like Lagos before being moved across borders.


Investigations suggest the involvement of organised networks, including local agents and intermediaries who coordinate movements and logistics.


Once abroad, victims are said to face harsh working conditions, exploitation, and financial bondage. Some are reportedly unable to return due to accumulated debts or threats from traffickers.


Authorities, including NAPTIP and the Benue State Police Command, say efforts are ongoing to curb the menace. However, many residents believe enforcement measures have not kept pace with the growing scale of the problem.


Stakeholders are now calling for intensified surveillance, stronger community awareness, and tougher penalties for offenders.
