A suspected human trafficker has been apprehended along Gamboru, a border town between Nigeria and Cameroon, while guiding seven youths, comprising two ladies and five young men all indigenes of Edo State out of Nigeria to Cameroon with each of them carrying what the immigration described as forged passports and other travelling documents.

The Comptroller, Nigerian Immigration Service, Borno Command, Mohammed Sambo Gwandu, paraded the suspected trafficker and his accomplices in Maiduguri yesterday.

He told newsmen that the passports recovered from them showed entry immigration stamps of numerous countries pasted along with visas even when it was clear that the youths being led out of the country had never been to the countries from which immigration entry stamps were forged.

Gwandu also said his men recovered a movement chat from the team which implied that they were heading for other countries, using Cameroon as a route.

The suspected trafficker and leader of the delegation, Osenwenge Ikubor, 34, told our correspondent when asked, that one Mohammed, a friend of his in Lagos, was the one who made the passports for the youths while he was assigned to lead them to Cameroon for the purpose of taking part in shooting a home video.

Some of the youths told our correspondent that they paid N10, 000 for the passports to be made for them even as they said they didn’t know they were carrying forged passports.

The immigration said they were to be handed over to the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for investigation.
