The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has rescued 58 Nigerian women and children from human traffickers in Ghana.

The Chairman of NIDO’s Board of Trustees in Ghana revealed this to NiDCOM's Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa during her visit to Accra.

This follows last month's rescue of 10 Nigerian teenage girls.
