NAPTIP Secures Seven-Year Jail Terms for Two Human Traffickers

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has marked two significant victories in its crackdown on human trafficking. On May 8, the Supreme Court upheld the seven-year sentence for Titilayo Folorunso. She was convicted for procuring a victim for prostitution and arranging exploitative travel from Nigeria to Libya via Niger Republic. Investigators found the victim was lured with a false promise of a teaching job in Malta, then forced into prostitution, abused and subjected to repeated abortions in Libya. In a separate Lagos Federal High Court ruling, Bose Jimoh received a seven-year jail term and a ₦4 million fine for facilitating travel linked to prostitution and exploitation. Both sentences underscore Nigeria’s determination to enforce the Trafficking in Persons Act 2015 and protect vulnerable citizens.
