Two suspected human traffickers were on Friday apprehended for
trafficking some Nigerians to Libya with the promise of taking them to
Europe.
The suspects were apprehended after they were identified by their
victims during the profiling of 164 Nigerians who voluntarily returned
from the volatile North African country.
