The Sokoto State Police Command has arrested ten members of a human trafficking and child abduction syndicate and rescued 21 children.
The
state Commissioner of Police, CP Ali Hayatu Kaigama, stated this while
addressing newsmen at the command headquarters in the state capital on
Thursday, May 30, 2024.
He said
one of the suspects, Bala Abubakar of the Tudun Wada area of Sokoto, was
alleged to have sold a total of 28 children, including six of his biological
children.
He said
the suspects gave out their victims to Kulu Dongoyaro and Elizabeth Ojah in
exchange for between N150,000 and N250,000, claiming they were being taken to
one Abuja-based NGO that is willing to shoulder the responsibilities of their
welfare.
