Whistle Blowing Policy May Be Extended To Traffickers and Other Related Offences

The federal government has vowed to adopt the name and shame policy for those involved in trafficking.
Director-General National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Julie Okah-Donli, said the policy will ensure there is no hiding place for culprits.

Speaking in her maiden interaction with reporters at the headquarters of the agency in Abuja, Okah-Donli also appealed for extension of the whistle blowing policy to human trafficking.
The whistle blowing policy, according to her, will succeed with human trafficking like it is with corruption.
She said: “We will employ the name and shame policy to ensure that those who get involved do not have a hiding place anywhere across the globe.

“We must do all to protect the lives and dignity of our next generation who are being destroyed now by criminally minded individuals.
“It is a known fact that human trafficking has moved from the era of analogue and person-person recruitment of victims to a well-orchestrated criminal network that is designed to deceive even the very best operatives.”
She assured the agency will nab “any human trafficker from the point of conceiving the idea to the point of exploitation.
