Five Children Rescued From Suspected Human Trafficker In Ibadan

Radio Nigeria Ibadan has rescued five children from a suspected female trafficker.

The children whose ages are between four and thirteen years were rescued from where the woman was using them to beg for alms.

The children clad in uniform were being taken round a popular market to demand for money from unsuspecting traders.

Some of the children in conflicting statements said they attend Saint Michael Primary School, Idi Ayunre, Ibadan while two others said they were from Ago Iwoye in Ogun State.

In an interview, the suspect, Mrs Abosede Omolola claimed she runs a charity home hence the need to use the children to beg.

Reacting, the chairman, Oyo State Ministry of Women Affairs’ Rapid Response Team on Gender-based Violence, Pastor Marcus Williams said the woman had some questions to answer as all her claims were not established.

Pastor Williams assured the people that his team will locate the parents of the children.

As at the time of filling this report, the woman has been detained at the Bodija Police Station while the children were kept at a motherless home.
