Two female child traffickers have been arrested by the Enugu State police command.

 

The command announced on Tuesday that it nabbed the alleged traffickers identified as one Miracle Orji, 24, and Blessing Ani, 34.

 

In a statement issued by the command’s public relations officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the arrest of the duo led to the rescue of two children: Ogechi Eneh (female), aged four, and Destiny Okechukwu (male), aged one.

 

Ndukwe said, “Preliminary investigation reveals that on 24/03/2023, Miracle Orji stole Ogechi Eneh, and was escaping with her before she was intercepted and arrested with the assistance of citizens at Ameke-Oduma Community in Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The PPRO said that Ani confessed to having been involved in the act of child trafficking since 2017, adding that she ‘guided the operatives to Abuja where the male victim, Destiny Okechukwu, who had been sold with fake documents and renamed Chibuike, was rescued’.
