Operatives of Anambra police command have arrested a suspected member of a gang that specializes in child trafficking.
Th Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Tochukwu Ikenga (SP) revealed this in a press statement made available to journalists on Wednesday.
He said that the gang specializes in trafficking children between the age bracket of 13years – 16years to neighbouring countries like Ghana, Benin Republic and others.
He said that the arrest followed the concern of the Commissioner of Police CP Nnaghe Obono Itam about the spate of reports of missing persons, especially within Okpoko, Onitsha and tasked the Police Operatives to nip such in the bud.
He said that the victim has been safely returned from Accra Ghana to Nigeria and debriefed.
The suspect according to him is also currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, (SCID) Awka for possible rescue of other victims and arrest of other gang members.
