NAPTIP AND ICPC TO PARTNER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS.

Earlier today the Director General Paid A courtesy visit to the Chairman ICPC.
in her speech she said it’s important we build bridges with sister agencies of law enforcement and investigation crimes. ImageImageImage
In the past we’ve never collaborated in any area so that we build a partnership in the areas of financial investigation and asset recovery and in terms of training.
In his response, the Chairman thanked congratulated the Director General on her appointment he also said he has
had interaction with NAPTIP in the past and he was part of the advocacy for the passing of the law. Also NAPTIP is an integral part of this fight. I think the crime angle with the financial aspect is where we can collaborate on. You’ve talked about asset recovery and that’s
important because one of the way traffickers launder their funds is by putting their funds into legitimate businesses.
He concluded by saying there are illicit transactions that he would want NAPTIP to be part of the team to track down these funds.
