Chairman NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has applauded the Ghana Achimota Circuit Court presided over by Her Honour Mrs Akosua Anokyewaa Adjepong for sentencing a Nigerian human trafficking ring leader, Chukwudi Nwachukwu to 10 years in prison with hard labour after months of painstaking investigations and surveillance.
Dabiri-Erewa believes that justice has been served especially as the Circuit Court also ruled that the Convict must pay restitution in the sum of GHc15,000 to each of the ten victims.
The Trafficking ring leader was involved in the procurement of 10 young Nigerian girls between the ages of 15 and 18 years to Ghana and coercing them into prostitution.
The ten girls who were handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, (NAPTIP), have been fully reintegrated and reunited with their families.
