The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons(NAPTIP) has provided the real reason why Nigerian women are attracted to Malian men.
Providing the reason on Tuesday at a workshop organised for media professionals in Lagos, the Commander of Benin Zone of NAPTIP, Mr Nduka Nwanwenne, said, “NAPTIP’s investigation revealed that they were attracted to Malian men because they spend more money on women compared to Nigerian men.
The second major reason, he said, was that ”Malian men are proud of sleeping with women from Nigeria, the giant of Africa.”
Nwanwenne noted that no fewer than 25,000 trafficked Nigerian women and girls are trapped in Mali.
He added that NAPTIP arrested over 9,102 human traffickers, out of which 604 were convicted while 20,660 victims were rescued between 2004 to May 2023.
