Nigeria, EU sign readmission agreement, expand cooperation on organised crime and trafficking - Nigeria; Abuja and Brussels have signed a readmission agreement covering the return of Nigerian nationals from EU member states. They have also widened cooperation on organised crime and human trafficking. The deal follows this week's EU, French and Italian equipment support to NAPTIP. Readmission is a migration-control instrument, not an anti-trafficking one. Watch whether returnees are screened for trafficking indicators before removal, and whether NAPTIP has a defined role in the return process.
