Nigeria now notorious for sex trafficking, sale of human organ and forced labour, says EU

Nigeria has become known all over the world as destination for those seeking human parts, forced labour and sex trafficking among many other social vices and other terrible crimes against humanity.

According to the European Union which drew the conclusion, Nigeria would get support against these social malaises from the Union through its political dialogue and development cooperation to fight these vices.

The Head of the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Ketil Karlsen, said this, according to a statement signed by the union’s press officer, Modestus Chukwulaka, on Wednesday.

Karlsen was quoted to have said in Lagos, shortly after ”the 64th chartered flight bringing back voluntary Nigerian returnees arrived the country”.
