Globally, children of school age are bought, sold and transported away from their homes as commodities. Child trafficking is illegal and extremely harmful as trafficked children are exposed to diverse form of abuse. The specific objective of this study examines the socio-economic implication of child trafficking in Lagos how well national policies provided have been implemented in curbing the illicit activities. Using systematic random sampling method, data for the study were obtained by 100 respondents representing the domestic sexual response violence team fashioned under the ministry of labour and productivity which is one of the designated ministry to curb child crimes activities in Lagos state who deal directly with child traffickers and trafficked children. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The data revealed that trafficked children are obtained in Lagos and also from other states, their age range is between 12 and 18 years above and are mostly females. It was discovered that force/coercion, tricky and administration of oats were the commonest methods used in girl child trafficking. Forced labour, prostitution and child soldier were the major purposes for girl child trafficking while poverty, economic gains, ignorance and insufficient penalties against traffickers were factors enhancing girl child trafficking in the study area. The study recommended among others investment in human capital, massive public enlightenment campaigns, severe penalties and removal of constraints hindering prosecution of traffickers.
