The women, identified as 22-year-old Hajara Ismail from Funtua, Katsina State, and 33-year-old Bilkisu Haruna from Kofar Marusa, Katsina, were intercepted at a motor park in Kano while preparing to travel to Lagos. From there, they reportedly planned to proceed to Somalia via the Benin Republic in search of better opportunities.
According to Sheikh Mujahid Aminudeen Abubakar, Deputy Commander General of the Hisbah Board, the operation was carried out by the Officer-in-Charge of Motor Parks Operations following a tip-off from concerned citizens. The suspect and the two women have been handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for further investigation.
Sheikh Abubakar emphasized that the Hisbah Board remains committed to combating human trafficking and other social vices in Kano State. He urged parents and guardians to be vigilant and not to entrust their children, especially young girls, to individuals promising better lives abroad.
This arrest underscores the ongoing efforts by Nigerian authorities to address human trafficking and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
The Kano State Hisbah Board continues to collaborate with national and international agencies to combat human trafficking and ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens.
