Awka - Anambra residents in Malaysia have expressed worry over the number of girls from the South East geopolitical zone being used in sex trafficking business in that country.

The residents, under the aegis of Anambra State Welfare Association Malaysia, ASWAM, said the situation had become embarrassing, adding that they would no longer tolerate it.

Chairman of the group, Mr Okwunwanne Mmaduka, said they were not only faced with the problem of sex trafficking, but also the issue of kidnappings in Malaysia.

He denied the insinuation that every Igbo staying in Malaysia were usually dubbed kidnap perso, adding that most of them were doing genuine businesses and studying at the same time.

He said that to state the true situation, they would meet the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe and other monarchs, Governor Willie Obiano and other stakeholders to brief them on the worrisome trend.

According to him, the group receives over 20 complaints each week on the activities of the traffickers, adding that a lot of them had lost their lives in the process as a result.

Mmaduka said the group had rescued most of them and sent them back to Nigeria, while some others had been sent to school in MaMmadukalaysia by the group, noting that the trend was giving Ndigbo bad names.

He said: “ASWAM is disturbed by the increasing cases of Anambra State women and girls in Malaysia falling victims of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation ”

"ASWAM is therefore, employing community based and state wide campaigns to combat the menace of sex trafficking and other of commercial sex exploitation of Anambra women and girls in Malaysia.”

“We are taking the campaigns to our families, communities and traditional institutions here in Anambra State. We are raising awareness among our young people, parents, government and the public on the dangers therein.”

Edo, Kano and Delta states are leading in human trafficking, according to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons.

Meanwhile, NAPTIP says it rescued 11,819 Nigerians from human traffickers up till December 2018.

Edo State has one-fifth or 21 per cent of the rescued victims, Kano has 10 while Delta has 7.2 per cent.

The statistics are from the Nigeria Country Report of Human Trafficking 2019 by NAPTIP obtained exclusively by our correspondent on Wednesday.


The document showed a breakdown of the rescued victims by their states of origin, making the South-South comprising Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River and Rivers states the most prevalent for human trafficking with 40.7 per cent of the total number of victims.

The North-West followed with 19.8 per cent, with Kano leads in the zone with 1,114 victims.

The report said, “From inception to December 2018, NAPTIP has received 11,819 Nigerian victims of trafficking. One-fifth of the Nigerian victims are indigenes of Edo State and about one-tenth of the victims are from Kano State. Other states with significant percentages include Akwa Ibom, 8.1; Delta, 7.2; Benue, 4.3; Imo, 4.2; and Cross River, 4.2.
“In numbers, Cross River has 486 victims, Delta, 855, Imo, 509, Ogun 286, and Sokoto, 347 victims. The South-East has 16.7 per cent of all the victims. Other zones – North-Central, South-West and North-East recorded 10.1, 8.9 and 3.8 per cents respectively.

“Women and children are the most vulnerable in the victims of human trafficking. This is evident following the distribution where 71.2 per cent of rescued victims are females and 50.3 per cent are children.”
The 2019 report also highlighted 39 countries from where some of the victims were rescued, with Libya, Mali, the United Arab Emirates, Niger Republic and Burkina Faso topping the list.
