Nigeria Police, NAPTIP, NIS Unite Against Human Trafficking

The Nigeria Police Force has strengthened its partnership with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to combat human trafficking, illegal migration, and transnational organized crime. During a courtesy visit to NAPTIP's Director General, Binta Adamu Bello, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olatunji Disu reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to support NAPTIP's operations.

Bello congratulated Disu on his leadership and expressed appreciation for the ongoing support from the police. The IGP highlighted a shift towards intelligence-led strategies, including enhanced joint operations and real-time intelligence sharing to dismantle organized criminal networks.

Disu also pledged technical support for the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and the National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC), alongside plans for specialized training for NAPTIP personnel within police training institutions. The partnership underscores a zero-tolerance stance against human trafficking-related crimes, ensuring that perpetrators have no safe haven in Nigeria.
