A father (name withheld) called his daughter that he has concluded arrangement for her to go to Italy and make money for the family but she said no.
Then The father got annoyed and locked up her salon shop and threatened to disown her since she had refused to travel to make money for the family. Parents should stop forcing their children to embark on this dangerous journey because many lives have destroyed all in the name of making money for the family abroad said the NAPTIP boss.
NAPTIP is not saying people should not travel abroad, every body has a right to travel but you must travel safely and with the right documents so that you would not be exploited and forced into sex slavery, prostitution and force labour among others.
