Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the Republic of Senegal, Alhaji Brima Elvis Koroma, on Tuesday June 30, 2020, visited Malika, a community in Senegal where 87 Sierra Leonean victims of Human trafficking are being held.
At the Malika Community, the Ambassador and entourage were received by the Commandant of the Malika Police Division who briefed him on the state of affairs about the 87 victims. Thereafter, they were taken to the premises housing the victims.
Addressing the victims on the dangers of human trafficking, Ambassador Koroma told them that human trafficking was a crime punishable by long term in prison. He informed them that President Julius Maada Bio had already won a reputation as a champion against the inhuman act frowned upon the world over.
“It was therefore disingenuous on the part of these traffickers in their vain illicit wealth to smear the good image of the President,” Amb. Koroma reiterated.
The Ambassador told the victims about the dangers of Human Trafficking, such as taking victims to unknown destinations and allowing the perpetrators make huge gains on their vulnerabilities.
