Human Trafficking: Bawa Advocates Strengthening Of Enforcement Activities

The Executive Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 advocated strengthening of investigation and prosecution activities as a measure to curb the menace of human trafficking and smuggling.

According to him, strengthening prosecution, will “uphold the rule of law, ensure community safety, protect victims and help to prevent future crime by convicted offenders.”

Bawa stated this at the opening of a 3-day training workshop on Financial and Asset Investigation for Officers of National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Police Force at Reitz Continental Hotel, Abuja.

The EFCC boss who spoke through the Commandant, EFCC Academy, Ayo Olowonihi, emphasized the need to train and equip investigators in order to stop financially motivated crimes. “It is obvious that most trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants regardless of type is motivated by the financial incentive in mind”.

He said the training of officers saddled with the investigation of human traffickers will greatly enhance the achievement of the Five-Point agenda (policy, prevention, protection, prosecution and partnership) adopted by the United Nations and other countries, Nigeria inclusive.

Bawa highlighted the focal areas of the training workshop to include overview of financial investigation; evidence gathering, documentation and report writing; Financial investigation methodology and process; assets investigations into human trafficking; assets tracing and management and overview of financial forensic fraud models and legal framework for asset tracing, seizure and forfeiture in a borderless crime, among others.

The team leader of the Action Against Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants, A-TIPSOM, Rafael Rios Molina represented by Joseph Sanwo, Senior Project Officer A-TIPSOM/FIIAPP, said “ Agencies have been working hard to ensure that they get conviction of the traffickers and smugglers but that is not enough. We want to make sure that they are stripped of the financial gains they have made through this ill-gotten wealth”.

He assured that they will support Law enforcement Agencies all over the world in the task of stopping the trafficking and smuggling of persons.

The Director General NAPTIP, Senator Basheer Mohammed, in his remarks, noted that human trafficking is rated after drug trafficking as the largest criminal activity in the world.

“By the clear provision of section 53 of the Trafficking in Persons Prohibition and Enforcement Act, 2015, the Agency (NAPTIP) is mandated to investigate assets and properties of an arrested person,” he said.

He disclosed that after the training workshop, “NAPTIP will establish a financial investigation Unit to be domiciled in the investigation department to ensure that proceeds of trafficking in persons are traced and forfeited to the Federal Government.”

The Spanish Embassy representative, Mr. Lorenzo Fages in his remark appreciated the efforts of all the agencies involved in the anti-human trafficking fight.

“Proper co-ordination among the Law enforcement Agencies will greatly help in achieving the objective of stopping human trafficking,” Fages said.
