Abstract:
The traditional intervention on human trafficking in Edo State, which is the hubof human trafficking in Nigeria in 2017, 2018 and 2019, has sparked-off deepcontroversy among the national and international political pundits. While some arguethat it will have no impact, others insist that it will reduce human trafficking to thelowest minimum. The debate remains proliferated with claims and counterclaim.However, using a sample of 910 respondents from the three senatorial zones of the stateand evidence from secondary sources and the social control theory, the study revealedthat the traditional method of intervention adopted by the traditional leadership hasreduced drastically the conflict of human trafficking in Edo State. It was recommendedthat Edo State government and Nigeria in general should endeavour to create jobopportunities for these teaming unemployed youths to discourage them from thinking ofâmigrating abroad illegally, thereby, falling victim of human trafficking.
