Stella Oduah, has described the resurgence of slavery in parts of Africa as “time bomb’’ that must be nipped in the bud.Oduah told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday that the development was a dangerous trend that should be treated with the seriousness it deserved by all African leaders.She said if not aggressively tackled, the situation, which was already forcing victims into prostitution and different forms of crime, could lead to more heinous crimes that may be difficult to handle.Oduah said that the present trend was more worrisome because the victims, in most cases, willingly embarked on the dangerous journey and ended up being sold into slavery.According to her, it is something no one contemplates should happen to anyone in the present age.
