The Liberian government says it has in its custody 36 nationals of Bangladesh who were found loitering in the country, and it is endeavouring to have them deported to their country of origin, reports UNB.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force (AHTTF) announced the arrest and subsequent detention of the Bangladeshis, who they said were trafficked to Liberia by a Liberian company, named Talk Fushion Napey (Lib) Inc.
The head of the company is reportedly arrested.
"The AHTTF wishes to inform the public of the unearthing of a serious case of human trafficking," the head of the Task Force, Labour Minister Tiawon Gongloe told a news conference last week attended by members of the Task Force.
The Bangladeshis, all males, according to the Task Force, were surrounded through the instrumentality and agility of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalisation (BIN).
