The Abia State Police Command has recorded a major breakthrough in the fight against child trafficking with the arrest of multiple suspects and the rescue of several stolen children and infants across Abia, Lagos, Anambra, Ebonyi and neighbouring states.
In one case, operatives arrested Mrs. Chinasa Ukachukwu and Adaoma Sunday after Chinasa reportedly left home with four children and returned days later with only one. Acting on intelligence, detectives tracked and rescued the three missing children from different locations and reunited them with their families.
In another coordinated operation, police dismantled a large trafficking ring operating within Aba and Obingwa areas, arresting ten suspects and rescuing eight infants and ten children who were allegedly stolen under various guises, including fake marriages and caregiving arrangements. All rescued children have since been reunited with their families, while suspects were charged to court.
