She further disclosed that majority of those trafficked were from Uhumwode, Orhionmwon and Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Areas, all in Edo South Senatorial District.

Igbere TV reports Omorogbe to have said that over N300 million was spent between 2017 and 2019 to pay stipends and loans​ to indigenes of the state who were repatriated from Libya.

The Commissioner, who said some returnees received as much as N700,000 each, added that each of the returnee also received the sum of N60,000 from the state government as well as cash from the International Organization of Migration (IOM).

While commending the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), for adopting the state government towards fighting irregular migration, Omorogbo disclosed that the agency was currently handling 12 cases in court, but that nobody had been convicted.

Why won't Edo be highest in human trafficking wen d only achievement Oshiomole could show after 8yrs as governor is d lady he trafficked from another country in d name of marriage.
Meanwhile, has anyone seen them together in d last 6mnths?
This is the state that the short devil ruled for 8yrs, yet he couldn't change anything.

That's is why if I see Africans talking of slavery I don't take them seriously.

We started slavery and slave trade ,
We are still doing it indirectly today.

We get problem.

I thought Oba of Benin is the most powerful man in Edo State?
He is not making use of the power well.
At least Edo State should have been the most organized state in Southern Nigeria

two things Edo people are known for (1) human trafficking (2) broom is their favorite mode of transportation

Nigerians and Get Rich Quick Abroad Syndrome ( GRQAS).
No thanks to the political elite.



When we try to get rich quickly, we lost other things in the process.

The Fulanis are patiently and quietly laying play to take over Southern Nigeria,

We are running away from our land wile they are advancing
