Men of the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department of the Nigeria Police Force in Alagbon, Lagos, have arrested five women for child trafficking.

The police said the suspects – Abike Shobowale, 72; Abiola Adeniyi, 57; Abike Amusan, 50, Sarat Quadri, 42; and Zainab Hamzat – were arrested for taking custody of children aged between six and 15 in violation of formal procedures.

He said the rescued children comprised Nigerians and nationals of Benin Republic, adding that efforts were ongoing to reunite them with their parents. “We have launched a massive investigation geared towards arresting anyone connected with this criminal syndicate. We will not rest on our oars as we strive to make our environment crime-free.”

“I took them to a school in Oke-Arin, but the school did not admit them because they could not speak English or Yoruba. I started teaching them and they now understand simple English. I went to school so I know my rights.
