The phenomenon of human trafficking has taken an alarming dimension in Nigeria, such that it had become a big illegal criminal business.

Human trafficking is a major National problem for been a threat to fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. For an already crestfallen nation the added burden of crime of human trafficking which are infringements on the fundamental human rights of Nigeria, now transcend subliminal trauma. For most parents in Nigeria, the fear of sudden disappearances of their sons, daughters and wards of being trafficker victims are real and palpable.
