She encouraged all Non- Governmental Organizations, NGO's in Anambra state to desist from actions that will jeopardize the functions of NAPTIP but to collaborate with NAPTIP to achieve results. 


On the request from NAPTIP for Governor's wife to assist with shelter for harbouring victims of trafficked victims and rescued victims of baby factory and the likes , Onyekesi assured to present their request before the Governor's wife. 


The Women Affairs Commissioner assured NAPTIP of partnership to ensure the mandate was actualised in Anambra state.

Mrs. Chukwu said that the agency was happy with the Women Affairs ministry, and pleaded for special support for the agency to shelter victims of trafficking and support their litigation to stop traffickers in their track.

She warned against impersonation of the agency by some members of the Non Governmental Organizations -NGO , advising that they limit  themselves to their mandate since only NAPTIP has the mandate to investigate and carry out the operational duties of prosecution both locally, nationally and international trafficking cases. 


She noted that trafficking was not only travelling out of one's base with or without consent but any case involving children like molestation, child labour, sexual abuse, selling of babies and baby factory syndrome to mention but a few. 


"Only NAPTIP has the capacity to prosecute the perpetrators, take into consideration the welfare of victims and shelter them among others. We are  asking the Anambra first lady to assist the agency in  providing shelter for victims of trafficking, as shelter is a major problem for us", Chukwu said.

 

She lamented that traffickers still lured girls into prostitution in some African countries including Ghana while at home baby factory business was ruining lives causing HIV/AIDS to spread.


She asked for support for the agency even though it was a federal government agency but operating in Anambra.
