A stranger convinced the parents of a 13 year old Beninese boy that he should go to neighboring Togo for a better life. He ended up in domestic servitude working long hours every day and being regularly beaten. More information: http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/Benin.htm

A Nigerian ship called Etinero was contravened off on its way back to Cotonou after having been turned away at Libreville, Gabon and Douala, Cameroun. The ship was carrying slave children. Early reports showed that children were traveling with parents, but continued investigations by UNICEF showed that the alleged parents were in reality child traffickers. The older children believed they were going to work in legitimate jobs, the younger ones did not know where they were going, and all wanted to go home to their mothers.
