The action focuses on combatting the trafficking in human beings in the transport industry in Edo State. Road transport operators are key actors in the trafficking and smuggling of persons, particularly the trafficking of children, due to the fact that traffickers and smugglers rely mainly on commercial road transportation for moving potential victims to airports and across the border to neighbouring countries, en-route to Europe and other destinations e.g. for exploitation.
