A Nigerian baby trafficked into the UK will be placed for adoption, according to a UK family court ruling. The infant was smuggled into the country as part of a broader human trafficking operation. Authorities discovered the case during a welfare check.
UK immigration officials say the child’s biological family remains untraceable. With no viable guardianship option, the court deemed adoption in the child’s best interest. Anti-trafficking organizations are calling for tighter border checks and expanded child protection laws.
The ruling has sparked emotional responses, especially from Nigerian advocacy groups who argue for repatriation efforts and deeper international collaboration to combat trafficking networks
