Group Charges Delta State Government On Girl-Child Trafficking

Delta State Government have been called on by Warri Boys Association, Lagos branch, to intervene in the increasing rate of girl-child trafficking in the state.

The call was made after the group held their meeting in Lagos state by the President, Chief Godwin Okene, who explained that the association had been receiving a lot of complaints from indigenes of the state that girl-child trafficking cartels had invaded the state, aimed at luring innocent under-aged girls to Lagos and foreign countries under the guise of providing jobs, only for the girls to be used for prostitution.

According to Okene, recently they learnt of the case of some under-aged girls who were lured from Aladja Udu LGA of the state to Lagos by one of the cartels, led by a woman.
