Nigerian Girl Trafficked to Ghana, Gang-Raped for Porn Apps After Being Promised $10k Weekly

Modern Slavery: The Persistent Challenge of Human Trafficking in a Digital Age”Description: “Despite the efforts of past abolitionists like William Wilberforce, modern forms of slavery persist, notably in the realm of human trafficking. Herbert Marshall McLuhan’s vision of a global village facilitated by digital connectivity has, unfortunately, provided fertile ground for traffickers to exploit. In Nigeria, escalating unemployment and economic crises have fueled a surge in trafficking victims, with Ghana serving as a common destination. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports Nigeria as having the highest number of unidentified trafficking victims in West Africa. Investigations reveal a disturbing trend of Nigerian youths, often deceived through false promises, being transported to various West African countries weekly. Gladys Osayande’s ordeal, lured by fake job recruitment to Ghana, exemplifies the heartbreaking reality faced by many victims. As the world grapples with cybercrime and exploitation, it’s crucial to address the root causes driving this modern-day slavery.”
