 An international consultant, Charles Otherman, has said that there are over 25 million victims of modern slavery and forced labour globally. Speaking with our Delta State correspondent, Abumajero Friday at the end of a one-week training workshop on human trafficking in the Gulf of Guinea, Otherman called on journalists to report such cases widely. Victims of modern slavery and notably forced labour exploitation are over 25 million. So it's a very, very important crime in terms of volume, number of victims and survivors that we need to consider. And in a lot of countries, journalists who are reporting these stories on a consistent basis, you can count on your head. So I go where the possibility to work is, often in the framework of international projects that support substantive work on these issues, unfortunately this is not happening everywhere. And I think we're very fortunate to have the possibility to do this in Ghana and Nigeria. He also encouraged the curation of awareness for people to understand the damaging effect of human trafficking on society. The idea is that they continue to do what they do. Ideally that they engage in networking and information sharing activities. They are scattered in many different localities and trafficking is a crime that occurs with mobility. Journalists from different countries are working together, will help them produce some stories that maybe can go deeper to what they're able to do right now. A number of the participants from these activities are going to be accompanied for further mentoring to be able to develop stories that are maybe a little bit more difficult to do or require a little bit more of work time.
