Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi , has once again raised alarm over the growing insecurity and loss of lives across Nigeria. His comments come shortly after the United States government placed Nigeria on its list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) —a designation reserved for nations where severe violations of human rights and religious freedom occur. In a strongly worded statement reported by Sahara Reporters on Monday, November 3, 2025 , Obi said Nigeria is currently facing one of the most troubling periods in its history, with “an unprecedented level of insecurity, shocking loss of lives, and destruction of property.” According to him, the crisis has worsened since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office in May 2023 . A Bleak Picture of Insecurity Peter Obi pointed to data reportedly compiled by Amnesty International and other independent watchdogs, which estimate that over 10,000 Nigerians have been killed in vio...

💔 Inside Nigeria’s Human Trafficking and Abuse Crisis: A Nation in Peril

-

Nigeria is currently battling a deeply rooted human trafficking and abuse crisis that threatens its social fabric and global reputation. With over 1.4 million citizens trapped in modern slavery, the country remains one of Africa’s most active trafficking hubs. From forced prostitution and child labor to baby factories and organ trade, traffickers exploit the nation’s most vulnerable—especially women and girls.

Recent reports have exposed horrifying baby factories operating under the disguise of orphanages or maternity homes. In these hidden facilities, girls as young as 13 are kidnapped or lured, raped repeatedly, and forced to deliver babies. These newborns are then sold—sometimes to desperate buyers abroad—for illegal adoption or even ritual purposes.

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has recorded thousands of rescue operations. From 2022 to 2024 alone, over 7,000 victims were saved and 205 traffickers were convicted. But the crisis persists. Criminals now use digital tools, fake job offers, and online scams to trap victims, with some victims trafficked as far as Europe and the Middle East.

In mid-July 2025, a major crackdown in Enugu, Anambra, and Ondo States led to the arrest of 11 suspects and the rescue of several pregnant victims. Authorities say corruption, poverty, and weak legal enforcement are driving factors behind the crisis.

NAPTIP, civil society groups, and international partners are working tirelessly to raise awareness, support survivors, and dismantle these criminal networks. But much more needs to be done. As World Day Against Human Trafficking (July 30) approaches, Nigerians are being urged to speak out, report suspicious activities, and support victims.

This is not just a human rights issue—it’s a national emergency.
