Abstract: This study investigated child trafficking, its security implications and the role of NAPTIP in Nigeria. The research design adopted in the study was an archival survey design. Data were sourced from NAPTIP zonal offices for the data analysis using quantitative approach. The data were presented in tables and charts to showcase the outcomes of the research findings. The results showed that child trafficking has become a societal problem with negative implications for security that needed concerted efforts from both the agency in control of human trafficking and the people in every society. The trends and patterns of child trafficking are very complex and posed various challenges that are identified in the study. Conclusions, implication of findings and recommendations were established. However, Nigeria government should proactively harness all security outfits to share some of the NAPTIP responsibilities among others such as Immigrations, Customs, NSCDC, Police and Nigerian Armed forces synergistically to end child trafficking in our borders.
