Kidnap victims may end up being trafficked again even after being freed – Esscom

All kidnap victims on the east coast of Sabah by groups in southern Philippines for ransom purposes could end up being trafficked again even after being freed, said Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) commander Hazani Ghazali.

He said the matter could recur when certain parties, called negotiators, take advantage of the situation to make a profit from the freeing of the victims.
