Former Northern regional correspondent for Metro TV Iassac Nogya sharing his experience on the program called for collaborative effectives between traditional rulers, opinion leaders and the security agencies to enhance the fight against human trafficking.

This he said will thwart efforts in the fight against human trafficking since these individuals will continue their trade.
