AI on WhatsApp Helped Rescue Four Trafficked Girls

November 2026 Science Kudos level: Encore

Four girls from Okene in Kogi State, including a 14-year-old, were trafficked to Mali. One used AI on WhatsApp from a hidden phone, which gave her the contact for the head of operations at Nigeria's anti-trafficking agency, and the girls were rescued and repatriated through a coordinated effort. The AI's role was connecting her to the right rescuers.
