Thirteen Nigerian girls who were trafficked to Ghana have been rescued, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) said.
The agency said their rescue brings “the total repatriated back to the country within five months to 163”.
In a statement by its Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NiDCOM gave a breakdown of the rescued ladies.
“Among the 163 included the 13 girls that were rescued and brought back to Nigeria over the weekend,” the Friday statement said.
It said the rescue “operation was a result of the combined and coordinated efforts of the Ghanaian Anti-Human Trafficking Police, The Rescue Live Foundation International, and NIDO Ghana working in collaboration with NiDCOM.”
