The
National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has said
they have started investigations into Davido's Abduction case. While
speaking with a Punch Correspondent
who had called in to know how far the agency had gone, the Lagos State
Zonal Commander of the agency, Mr. Joseph Famakin, said investigations
into the matter had commenced and both parties have been invited.
However, he noted that, the Agency can only carry out its duties if the
other party involved (the Adelekes) honour their invitation. His
words....
"The case was reported to us on
Wednesday and we have already commenced investigations. That is the only
thing I can say for now. We are known for doing a diligent job
irrespective of who is involved.
"For now, I
cannot say anything about the case because we have just sent out
invitations to the parties involved. I have neither seen nor interviewed
any of them so for now I cannot really say much. All I can say is that
we have commenced a full scale investigation into the matter after we
received the petition on Wednesday evening.
"It is
when we listen to all parties involved that we would establish if there
was a case of human trafficking or not. There have been no facts
presented to me other than the petition I received. The people who
presented the petition would make a statement, likewise the other party
involved then we would be able to come to an objective conclusion. We
cannot presuppose.
"I cannot assume what would
happen if they refuse to honour our invitation but when we get to the
bridge, we would cross it. When we start the investigation, you would be
informed but at this stage, we have just received the petition and we
just commenced," he said.
