The Cross River State House of Assembly has proposed a bill to tackle human trafficking, describing it as a challenge fueled by poverty, unemployment, family breakdown, and socio-environmental factors.
The bill is sponsored by the member of the Cross River State House of Assembly representing Yala 1 state Constituency Brian Odey on Thursday successfully passed its second reading.
The bill seeks to provide a strong legal framework to prevent human trafficking, prosecute offenders and protect victims across the state.
