NAPTIP urged anyone with credible information on Speed Darlington’s whereabouts to contact them immediately.
Mr Abubakar commended the D-G of NAPTIP for her timely response in rescuing the girl.
Ms Donli said the demand for inclusion in Mr Tinubu’s government also reflected a broader call for greater representation of women in governance.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said that more needed to be done to curb human trafficking.
The project officer said that apart from the students, teachers, and parents were also being trained as stakeholders to tackle the ugly trend.
The NDLEA chairman, retired Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa congratulated Ms Adamu-Bello on her appointment to lead NAPTIP.
She expressed concern that in spite of awareness efforts, many still fall victim to traffickers.
Mr Adekoye noted that the syndicate’s operations specialised in stealing children aged one and older, often selling them for N600,000 each.
Mr Awhen added that the rescued girl disclosed to them that more young girls from the state are still in Mali engaged in prostitution.
They said that poverty and lack of opportunities were pushing young people into the hands of traffickers.
