He said trafficking potent danger which must be tackled, lamenting that most people who get trafficked were never successful.

Mrakpor who is also the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, said “trafficking is like a spirit, so we have a big problem on our hands to solve. We used to think it was only Edo State that was affected by trafficking until National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Petsons, NAPTIP came to us saying that we have the same problem”.

Also, the Commander of the NAPTIP, Delta/Benin Zonal Command, Mr Nduka Nwawwenne commended the State government for setting up a task force to fight illicit vices, adding that “Delta is endemic to trafficking”.
