The UK Government, according to the first independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Kevin Hyland, is “deeply concerned” that hundreds of Nigerians are brought in every year for prostitution, or forced labour, threatening a clampdown on those involved.
Hyland told BBC on Wednesday that the problem of such exploitation was “enormous” and that the Home Office is “committed to tackling modern slavery” and was addressing specific issues on Nigeria.
The commissioner, who has only been in the position for six months, said he cannot think of anything more worrying than women and children being raped and forced into domestic servitude.
Latest figures from the National Crime Agency show that over 2,000 potential trafficking victims were referred to the authorities in 2014, adding that 244 of them were Nigerians, representing a 31 per cent increase from the previous year.
The highest number of potential victims was identified as being from Albania, followed by Romania, Vietnam, Poland and Nigeria, it was noted that Nigeria was consistently in the “top one or two” and 98 per cent of those trafficked from Nigeria came from the state of Edo.
