INTER-AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS AND THE CHALLENGES OF COMBATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN NIGERIA
Abstract
combating human trafficking in Nigeria. There is the need to create awareness on
the ills or evils of human trafficking; the use of different and effective agencies
will enhance the awareness exercise. Trafficking affects the rights, dignity and
physical existence of mankind; it lowers the quality of the traffickers and
trafficked victims. Trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation has forced many
women and children into it. Boys and girls have been forcibly abducted and
introduced into the business of trafficking while some remain as victims of the
same business or sex slaves. To investigate further, this paper looks at the interagencies
relations and there challenges in combating trafficking, for instance, the
Nigeria Immigration Service, the Nigeria Police, and the Non-Governmental
Agencies. The findings show that the challenges of human trafficking in Nigeria
are on the increase despite efforts by the various agencies to eradicate or stop it.
This is to say that there is the need to intensify effort to bring this menace to a
halt.
