Dabiri-Erewa commended NIDO Ghana, the Acting Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, and Ghanaian law enforcement agencies for their cooperation.

The rescued women and children are returning to Nigeria, where they will be properly profiled and counselled by NAPTIP. They will then be reunited with their families and rehabilitated by their respective state governments.
