Abeokuta, Nigeria, 2009

Nigeria NG

A five year old boy from Benin was seized as he walked home from school in his home town near the Nigerian border. He was blindfolded and shoved into a waiting car, then taken by various motorbikes and busses. Eventually he joined other children aged 5 to 15 at Abeokuta, forced to dig up granite every day for his master. Working 12 to 16 hours a day, he was paid the equivalent of 38 cents a week. All the children were malnourished. In all there were seven child slave camps discovered in the Nigerian states of Ogun, Oyo, and Osun. More information: http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/Benin.htm
