The Ondo State Command of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has arrested no fewer than 120 suspected human traffickers across the state in the last three years.
The Federal Government agency has also rescued more than 300 victims since the command commenced operations in the state in November 2023.
The State Commander of NAPTIP, Taiwo Adegboyega, disclosed this on Friday in Akure, the state capital, at a programme organised by the Civil Society Organisation Network on Migration and Development to commemorate the 2026 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
Adegboyega said several of the suspects arrested by the command were already facing prosecution, while the agency had secured convictions in some trafficking cases within the period under review.
