NAPTIP campaigns against election violence

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has begun its campaign against election violence.

NAPTIP Director-General, Fatima Waziri-Azi, told reporters in Abuja yesterday that attacks on INEC facilities and violence at campaign rallies had made it necessary for NAPTIP to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies to implement sections of the VAPP Act relating to political violence.
