A FORMER Group General Manager of the National Petroleum
Investment Management Services (NAPIMS), Dafe Sejebor, has been
arrested in Houston, United States.
He was arrested by the Houston Police Department over his
alleged involvement in human trafficking.
Sejebor was arrested along 46 others in an investigation that
lasted 10 days with focus on Fort Bend County and the Katy areas of
Texas.
He was retired in August 2015 from NAPIMS, a subsidiary of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),.
According to Click2Houston, the 47 suspects arrested include 27
woman and 20 men.
It added that eight were confirmed as victims, including two
juveniles, another eight charged with sex and human
trafficking-related offenses.
Some of those charged with sex and human trafficking also face
other charges related to unlawful possession of weapons, and
narcotics charges and possession of controlled substances,
tampering with evidence and prostitution.
”We are here to help, first and foremost. We understand the
problem of human trafficking. We understand what it does to the
victim, how to fix the victim,” said John Wall, an officer with the
Houston police department vice-division.
He went on: “We understand they are scared to come forward, but
we are going to do everything in our power to keep them safe, give
them the services they need to move forward in life.
“If you think about it, children (and) young adults spend and an
enormous amount of time on social media, and they are vulnerable.
They don’t understand the risk involved in talking to individuals
they don’t know on that type of forum.
“And, at the end of the day, we hope we can put the trafficker
where he belongs, and that’s in prison.”
