The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, Kebbi State, has intercepted and rescued 52 trafficked victims and handed them to the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) from February last year.
Rabi Bashir Nuhu, the Kebbi NIS Comptroller, told newsmen during a briefing to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the service that upon her assumption of office in February last year, the command succeeded in intercepting many youths, mostly girls, that were being planned for trafficking to Libya through the Illela border in Sokoto State.
