Commander Abdulkadir Turajo hailed NIS teamwork for the interception, slamming syndicates that prey on festive travel hype with fake job lures—urging Naija folks to vet offers hard, stay sharp and snitch on shady deals, as probes roll toward courtroom hammer-drops to crush these cross-state rings feeding desert death routes.
This bust spotlights NAPTIP-NIS muscle syncing to shield vulnerable hustlers from modern slavery traps, proving vigilance turns holiday hopes into safety nets—especially as economic squeezes amp desperate migrations in Nigeria’s underbelly.
