EU, France, Italy Donate Digital Interviewing Facility to NAPTIP to Strengthen Fight Against Human Trafficking

The fight against human trafficking in Nigeria has received a boost following the donation of a modern digital interviewing facility and operational equipment to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) by the European Union, France and Italy.

The donation was made under the Common Operational Partnership (COP) Nigeria initiative to strengthen the agency’s capacity to investigate human trafficking cases and bring perpetrators to justice.

The newly provided facility features modern interview rooms equipped with audio-visual recording technology designed to improve investigations, preserve evidence, strengthen prosecution and support efforts to dismantle human trafficking networks.

Speaking at the handover ceremony in Abuja, the Director-General of NAPTIP, Binta Adamu Bello, OON, expressed appreciation to the European Union, France and Italy for their support.

She noted that the facility would promote victim-centred interviewing, prevent the re-traumatisation of survivors and enhance the agency’s operational capacity in handling trafficking cases.

The intervention further strengthens international cooperation and reflects the shared commitment of Nigeria and its development partners to combating human trafficking, protecting victims and ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice.
