The suspect is currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, (SCID) Awka for possible rescue of other victims and arrest of other gang members.
A member of a notorious gang who specialises in trafficking children between the ages of 13 and 16 years to neighbouring countries like Ghana, Benin Republic etc, has been apprehended by the Anambra Police Command.
A statement released by the command's spokesperson, Ikenga Tochukwu, today September 4, says the arrest is following 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.
Ikenga said the victim has been safely returned from Accra Ghana to Nigeria and debriefed, while the suspect is currently undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, (SCID) Awka for possible rescue of other victims and arrest of other gang members.
