Spokesperson of the Imo State Police Command, Henry Okoye disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Owerri on Monday.

He named the arrested suspects to include Ifeoma Anyanwu, 41 years from Oloko Ikwuano LGA; Chibuzor Lucky, 42 years from Umuezeala Umuerim, Ubakala, Umuahia; Charity Kalu, 24 years from Okono, Ohiafia LGA all in Abia state; and Isidore Ozioma, 56 years from Umuhu Onicha in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA in Imo state.

Okoye said the State Criminal Investigation Department in Owerri dismantled the notorious child trafficking syndicate involved in the abduction of children from unsuspecting parents, saying the operation led to the rescue of three children abducted on July 4, 2024, in Ndinwegbu Umuoma, Onicha in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA.

According to him, investigations revealed that the suspects lured the children into their tricycle while they were playing outside, and subsequently transported them to a hidden location in Aba in Abia State where they were sold for ₦1million.
