Thousands of young people across West Africa are being lured in by the promise of work opportunities abroad. Victims often spend large sums of money, only to be held captive and coerced into recruiting friends and family from back home.

Traffickers have been using the name of a legitimate company - QNET - as a front for their activities.

Saidu Bah reports on the police teams trying to clamp down and follows one father’s desperate search for his missing children.
