Plateau State government, in conjunction with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, and a non-governmental organization, the Ewe Rina Africa, has successfully rescued and repatriated a young lady who was trafficked to Libya for prostitution. The 23-year-old victim, identified as Jummai Favour Garba, an Irigwe lady from Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, was reportedly trafficked to the North African country by a human trafficking syndicate and was forced into sex slavery. Her plight came to light in June when a post was shared on Facebook drawing attention to her unfortunate situation. According to the post, Favour, an athlete, was promised a sporting scholarship and a chance of a better life in Libya only to end up as a sex slave. “Sadly, the promises turned out to be false, and she found herself stranded in Libya,” the post said.
