Reacting to the development, Dabiri-Erewa said the suspected trafficker had been arrested by law enforcement officers in Ghana.
“These are young girls trafficked to Ghana for prostitution. We thank Chief Callistus, chairman of NIDO Ghana for ensuring the arrest of the evil perpetrators,” she wrote on X.
The NiDCOM chair said the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) will take up the case.
Earlier this month, Fatima Waziri-Azi, director-general (DG) of NAPTIP, said some orphanages in the country are under investigation over infractions that can be categorised as human trafficking.
