Adamawa police rescue trafficked children, arrest two suspects.

The Adamawa State police command has rescued 13 children who were trafficked from Adamawa to Anambra State. 

The command spokesman, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, confirmed that the children, aged between 5 and 9 years old, were abducted from various parts of Adamawa and sold to a buyer in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Nguroje added that the rescue operation was carried out through coordinated efforts between the state government and security agencies following credible intelligence, while two suspects were arrested in connection with the crime.

Reacting to the development, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri described the trafficking as inhumane, saying that the victims are receiving medical treatment and psychological support at the Specialist Hospital, Jimeta, while efforts are ongoing to identify the children's parents for prompt reunion.
