Grace Iringe-Koko, spokesperson for the Rivers state police command said the police acted on a credible tip-off before the arrests were made.
Her words:
“On Saturday, January 7, 2023, around 4.45pm, while acting on credible intelligence available to the Rivers State Police Command, C4I Intelligence Unit operatives raided two houses at Igwuruta and Omagwa communities respectively, where victims of child trafficking were being kept.”
Iringe-Koko further said that the rescued victims confessed that they were lured into the ugly act due to the need to make ends meet.
She said:
“All the victims confessed that they were lured to the illicit sales of children because of the need to meet some financial challenges. A Honda Pilot Jeep, white, was recovered from the syndicate leader.
“The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department and efforts are being intensified to track and arrest the buyers of the children already sold out.”
