The Director-General of the agency, Dr Julie Okah-Donli, disclosed this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) after a road walk to sensitise people against human trafficking in Abuja on Monday. Okah-Donli explained that 359 people had so far been convicted for different offences of human trafficking since 15 years of establishment of NAPTIP. She said that agency was now more committed and determined than ever to prosecute anyone involved in human trafficking no matter how highly placed in the society. She emphasised the need to take the sensitisation campaign beyond cities to rural areas where most human trafficking activities take place. Okah-Donli enjoined international organisations, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders to continue to support NAPTIP to win the war against human trafficking.
