A Borno State High Court in Maiduguri has sentenced a 37-year-old woman to two years in prison for procuring a 16-year-old girl for sexual exploitation. The court also ordered her to pay ₦500,000 compensation to the survivor. The conviction was secured by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons under the Trafficking in Persons Act. Authorities did not disclose how the girl was recruited, whether others involved have been identified, or whether the compensation has been paid. The case underscores the need for survivor support, thorough investigations and accountability for everyone involved in the exploitation of minors.
