A 28-year-old man, Abubakar Suleiman, was today, Thursday March 25, sentenced to two years imprisonment without an option of fine, by a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, for trafficking 30 women to Libya. This is following a one count charge from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking In Persons (NAPTIP) against Suleiman.
The Prosecution Counsel, Barrister Abdullahi Babale, told the court that the defendant on February 10 conspired with one Salele (a Nigerien) and transferred 30 women from Edo and Lagos State to the Niger Republic through Babura border in Jigawa en route to Libya. The presiding judge, Justice Sa’adatu Ibrahim-Mark, in her ruling also ordered the convict to pay an additional N250,000, adding that he will serve additional three months in the correctional centre should he fail to pay the said amount.
