Personnel of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Lagos Seaports and Marine Command have foiled an attempt to smuggle seven Nigerian girls to Burkina Faso.

The Comptroller of Immigration, Lagos Seaports and Marine Command, Malam Mohammed Saddiq, disclosed this at a media conference in Lagos on Friday.

According to Saddiq, the girls were intercepted on Nov. 12, at about 19.00 hours.

He said that the prime suspect, Miss Helen Dandam Nanbyen, 26, hails from Wadata village in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau.

โ€œThe suspects have been under the commandโ€™s radar for about two months following intelligence gathered by our operatives.

โ€œThat led to their arrest by Badagry Marine Border Patrol Team along Pashi waterway bordering Nigeria and Benin Republic.

โ€œIt was uncovered, during the course of investigation, that the seven smuggled victims, whose ages range from 19 to 23, hail from Langtang North Local Government Area of Plateau.

โ€œIt is important to state that the girls willfully consented to the journey under false identities with intent to indulge in prostitution while in their country of destination,โ€ he said.

The Immigration boss, however, noted that the suspects neither had any valid travel documents nor financial means to sustain themselves during the journey.

He pointed out that under interrogation, Nanbyen narrated her role in the illicit business and admitted her involvement in prostitution.

โ€œShe also admitted facilitating the transportation of potential sex workers into Burkina Faso.

โ€œShe said that it was with the support of her madam, an indigene of Edo, who operates a beer selling spot in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso capital.

โ€œShe also admitted working with one Miss Ella, who she claimed recruited four out of the girls, but is currently at large,โ€ the controller said.

He added that the arrest was a fallout of the Commandโ€™s renewed commitment to the directive of the Comptroller-General of the NIS, Caroline Wura-ola Adepoju, toward curbing migrant smuggling, human trafficking and all forms of crimes within the maritime space.
