Despite legislative and policy attentions by government, on the scourge of child trafficking in Nigeria, it still appears to be making very little impact; as child trafficking continues to occur nationally and internationally; and in these, Nigeria is a source, transit and destination country. In Nigeria, human trafficking ranks the third most common crime after financial fraud and drug trafficking; but the traffickers are seldom caught. As such, the future of the Nigerian child is threatened by this monster referred to as child and or human trafficking. Nationally, child trafficking takes place within and inter-state levels. Apart from that, trafficking human beings by air, particularly internally is largely stress-free and swift.
