Anambra State Police Command said it has arrested a suspect(name
withheld), who is said to be a member of a gang that specialises in child
trafficking from Nigeria to neighbouring countries like Ghana and the Benin
Republic.
The command’s spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a
press statement on Wednesday.
Ikenga said the arrest followed the concern raised by the Commissioner of
Police in the state, CP Nnaghe Itam, about the increasing reports of
missing persons in the state.
According to him, the child trafficking victim has been safely returned from
Accra, Ghana to Nigeria and debriefed. He added that the suspect is also
currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Awka for possible rescue of other victims and arrest of other
gang members.
