A court in Maiduguri, Borno State, has sentenced Goni Bawa Koterema, 52, to five years in prison for trafficking an adult man to Ghana.
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) announced the conviction in a statement on Monday.
NAPTIP said Koterema transported the 33-year-old victim from Borno State to Ghana for labour exploitation.
Justice M. B. Umar presided over the case at the High Court of Justice, Court 11, in Maiduguri.
The agency said the offence contravened Section 26(1) of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.
