The lack of proper training of some local judges, compared to the federal and state judges, contributed to the corruption and misapplication of relevant trafficking laws.
NAPTIP said it was against the law to employ children under the age of 12 as domestic workers.
The victims, who were all women between, were from different parts of the country and aged 19 to 37 years.
They hire out these innocent children and position them at the roadsides at busy intersections and bus stops, where they use them for alms begging.
According to Jonathan Machler, the executive director of the Coalition of the Abolition of Prostitution, prostitution is a form of violence and not a job.
Ten of the recently rescued victims were intercepted along the Daura-Kongolon road while heading to Europe through Niger Republic and Libya.
Tanzanian and Kenyan leaders have agreed to step up the fight against cross-border criminals, including human traffickers and poachers.
Mr Ekweremadu appeared in court on Thursday, where the judge announced that he will remain in Custody till the end of October for the next hearing.
A NAPTIP official said the victims were rescued by operatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service in Kano State and handed over to NAPTIP for further investigation.
“Gone are the days when we think human trafficking is offline. It’s now online. So we have an increase in fake jobs advertorials and fake scholarships.”
