The Commander of NAPTIP, Benin Zone, Barr Nduka Nwawenene, who disclosed this during a road walk to mark the 2023 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, said the theme: “Reach Every Victim of Trafficking, Leaving No One Behind”, was a call for increased collaboration among key players in the anti-human trafficking circle, adding that it presented an opportunity to raise awareness on the emerging trends and development regarding vulnerable groups targeted by human traffickers.
