Dozens of Ghanaians trafficked in football job scam rescued in Nigeria
Dozens of Ghanaian nationals who were victims of a football job scam have been rescued in Nigeria. The group, consisting of 40 individuals, believed they were traveling to Nigeria for lucrative football coaching positions. Upon arrival, they discovered they had been deceived by human traffickers.
The victims were found in squalid conditions in a suburb of Lagos, with little access to food and water. Nigerian authorities were alerted to the situation by a local resident who noticed the group’s distress and reported it to the police.
According to the victims, they had each paid significant sums of money to secure the job opportunities, only to realize they had fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme. The traffickers had promised them coaching positions with reputable football clubs in Nigeria, exploiting their passion for the sport.
The Ghanaians are now in the care of the Ghanaian High Commission in Nigeria, where they are receiving assistance. The Nigerian authorities have launched an investigation into the human trafficking ring responsible for luring the victims to the country under false pretenses.
Both Ghanaian and Nigerian officials have condemned the actions of the human traffickers, emphasizing the need for joint efforts to combat such criminal activities in the region. They have called for increased awareness and vigilance to prevent vulnerable individuals from falling victim to similar scams in the future.
