5500 Nigerians To Be Deported From Libya by Nobody: 6:56am On May 11, 2017 |
By Evelyn Usman
A total number of 5,500 Nigerians are set to be deported
from Mali and Libya, over various migration offences
ranging from Hunan trafficking, smuggling of migrants, and
non possession of valid travel documents.
The first batch of 250 Nigerians from Libya will arrive the
country today.
An additional batch of 250 Nigerians would also be
deported from same countries next week .
Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition
of Trafficking in Persons , NAPTIP Julie Okah-Donli, made
this disclosure yesterday, during her maiden visit at the
agency’s zonal command in Lagos.
She revealed that 5000 Nigerians, mainly victims of human
trafficking, were awaiting evacuation back home from Mali.
Okah- Donli who described the trend of deportation of
Nigerians from different parts of the world in recent time
as frightening, called for the need to change the tide by
providing an attractive environment that would keep people
gainfully employed.
She said, ” Between February and April, this year, no fewer
than 1134 Nigerians were deported from different parts of
the world for various offences. Out of the number, 905 were
deported from Libya in five batches, 115 from Italy in four
batches, 41 from Mali; 26 from Burkina Faso ; 14 from
Ghana ; 22 from the United Arab Emirate; one from
Cameroon; 8 from Cote-Ivore and two from Togo”.
Declaring total war against human traffickers and
organisations covering for them, Okah-Donli said modalities
had been put in place to nip activities of human traffickers
in the bud, threatening also, that the agency had
concluded plans to shut down illegal organisations which
kept shelter for rescued human trafficking victims and
missing persons, only to use the means to seek funds both
at home and abroad.
She said ” “It is time for perpetrators to close shop, give up
on the evil trade and look for more genuine businesses.
There would be no secret cows, no matter how highly
placed. We have made a commitment that out youth
population, which represents the prosperity of this country
must be rescued and protected from the claws of
unscrupulous elements, who do not mean well for Nigeria.
“We are already perfecting our strategy for the “name and
shame” policy to ensure that human traffickers are exposed
to the world” she added.
Human trafficking , she noted had assumed a global
phenomenon of serious “concern that requires collective
efforts in order to combat it. This is simply because of the
attendant casualties and other negative effects that have
characterised the migration aspect of trafficking. It has
moved to a well orchestrated criminal network that is
designed to deceive even the very best of operatives. It has
moved from the era of physical administration of oath of
secrecy on victims in person, to the era of digital initiation
at the destination and other sacred points of exploitation in
the full glare of electronic devices.
We have therefore adopted modern and effective
technology, techniques, skills and expertise in investigation
and prosecution”
She further revealed hat since inception, the agency had
received 4,755 cases, as well as rescued and supported
10,685 victims and secured 323 convictions.
In order to sensitise people on the danger associated with
human trafficking, she informed that the agency had begun
to sensitise members of the public, even as she called on
Nigerians to avail the agency with information that could
lead to the apprehension of human traffickers.
