Iringe-Koko noted that the culprits were apprehended after receiving a tip, and she added that the 10 expectant women had been saved.
“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. “The victims rescued in the operation are 10, most of them pregnant..” the police spokesperson said in a statement.
Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, claimed that according to investigations, the syndicate leader retained the victim’s baby after she gave birth and gave her N500,000 in exchange. She also said that some of the kids who had previously been born in the houses had been sold.
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.”
