The Police Command in Anambra Wednesday said it has arrested a member of a gang that specialises in child trafficking.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the arrest to newsmen in a statement Wednesday in Onitsha.
Ikenga noted that the suspect and other members of his gang specialise in trafficking children between the ages of 13 and 16 years to neighbouring countries, like Ghana, Benin Republic.
He stated that the arrest followed the marching orders given by the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Itam, following reports of many missing persons, especially within Okpoko, Onitsha.
Ikenga said Itam had tasked police operatives to nip such in the bud.
