The chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa has applauded Chief Callistus, Ghana BOT Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Organization (NIDO) and the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana, for the safe custody of the 10 trafficked girls, and ensuring they are well taken care of.
She expressed concern that while these girls are being rescued, more are probably still being trafficked, noting that traffickers need to be arrested, named and shamed.
