The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) on Thursday handed over four girls and a driver from Oyo, to the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). The four girls, aged between 18 and 25, were traveling with the driver when they were arrested by immigration personnel in Yauri Local Government Area of Kebbi. The Comptroller of the NIS in the state, Mrs Rabi Bashir-Nuhu, announced this while addressing newsmen in Birnin Kebbi. “The officers became suspicious of them, started asking questions and later discovered that they were travelling to Liberia and Libya enroute to Sokoto. The driver, however, told newsmen that he picked the girls at a petrol filling station along the road in Oyo State, going to Sokoto.
