Between 2018 and 2019 the number of Nigerian asylum seekers in the Netherlands has exploded. What is striking: many of them leave quickly. Where they are now is unknown. In little over a year, the Expertise Center for Human Trafficking and Smuggling (EMM) received '107 signals of human trafficking and smuggling' among Nigerians, ranging from sexual exploitation to forced drug distribution. Police and judiciary are concerned: is there any exploitation of Nigerians in the Netherlands? It looks like it. Asylum seekers' centers are receiving threatening calls to the Nigerians who live there, stories are circulating about voodoo rituals and babies are said to be trafficked.
