Frequently asked questions
What is juju and how is it used in Nigerian trafficking?
Juju rituals bind victims through fear of supernatural consequences. Experts explain this mechanism and its effect on credibility assessments without sensationalising the practice.
What is the re-trafficking risk for returned victims?
Returned victims face retaliation from networks, stigma, family rejection, and re-trafficking. State protection is often inadequate in high-trafficking areas such as Edo State.
How do juju reports support NRM cases?
Expert reports complement NRM decisions by addressing country conditions on return and explaining why victims may fear disclosure due to juju control.
