Trafficking rate

[edit]

The first sentence of the lead section start with the bold assertion that the "... rate of Human Trafficking in Edo State is alarming ...". This is not supported by the cited source, which only says that human trafficking is "most endemic" and that sex trafficking is "rife". The source, which is an abstract of a journal paper, does not give a rate of human trafficking per head of population or measure it in any other way, nor does it say who, specifically, is alarmed by this activity. This indicates the article has been written with a point of view in mind. Editors should avoid injecting their own opinion into Wikipedia article and write in a dispassionate and objective manner, presenting the facts and balancing opinions. My question is "What is the human trafficking rate?" (and how is that calculated?) and "Who thinks that rate is alarming?" (and who doesn't?). One could argue that the fact human trafficking is happening at all should cause alarm, so any rate larger than zero is alarming!
