Money Laundering and Human Trafficking Sensitization Programme for Ajeromi Ifelodun CDA in Collaboration with GIABA ECOWAS and NAPTIP

In order to achieve one of our goals in addressing the ills in the society caused by poverty and lack of education affecting many residents of low cost housing areas, Warien Rose organised an end of the year programme for residents of Ajeromi Ifelodun Community.

This was done in collaboration with the Intergovernmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) – an arm of ECOWAS and National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

The programme addressed the basics of money laundering, how big criminals trick young people and children into serving as channels and couriers for nefarious activities and how parents can help track and prevent such predators.
