The battle to end human trafficking in Edo State is far from over following stories told by some natives who returned from Libya.
About 2, 500 natives stranded in the North African country had returned home since August 2017. But despite the fact that they were helped back home by the Federal Government after their inhuman treatment in that country, the cartel involved in the illicit trade seems to have continued to sponsor natives to Europe through Libya.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that even some of the victims who returned last year and were rehabilitated by the state government through the Committee against Human Trafficking may be back in Libya after they could not sustain themselves economically in Nigeria.
As a matter of fact, 20-year-old Vivian Imunero, who is among the 65 who returned, penultimate week, lamented that her younger sister was recently sponsored to Libya by a kingpin, said to be a Nigerian woman residing in Italy.
