The Edo State Police Command in collaboration with a vigilante group have smashed a human traffcking syndicate and rescued 19 children and some women.

Spokesperson of the command, Kontongs Bello, who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, April 20, said the women and children were trafficked from Ebonyi, Imo, Abia, Anambra and Akwa Ibom States respectively to Evbuotubu in Ekenwan Road axis of Benin City, the state capital.

Bello stated that the raid and rescue operation took place on Thursday, April 16, adding that the principal suspect is currently on the run.

"The women said they were lured from their various home states by a woman named Jennifer also called Ezine with surname yet unknown, the woman is now on the run. They were lured in a guise that Edo State Government is giving financial support to single mothers with newborn babies especially twins," the statement says.

According to Bello, upon arrival in Benin City, the trafficked women discovered a different thing entirely as they got no support, but were rather forced into the illicit business of begging on the streets for their mistress, Jennifer.

The spokesman further explained that the women were paid peanut to take care of their children and feeding from the proceed of the begging.

Meanwhile, Bello called on the general public to disregard the rumours making the rounds on social media that the women and children were rescued from a baby factory by the Police in Benin City

"The story is not true. It is just the imagination of some mischief makers to engage in such publication as the act is an attempt to paint Edo State in a bad light. The women and children have since been handed over to Edo State Ministry of Women Affairs for rehabilitation and a possible return to their home States while effort also is in place to arrest the fleeing mistress,"

"The Commissioner of Police Edo State, CP Phillip Aliyu Ogbadu, is calling on the press and the members of the public to always verify their source of information before publication in order not to mislead the general public.”

I am not saying this to justify crime. But any nation or government that does not provide opportunities for people to earn a living the legit way should expect the possibilities of people earning a living in illegitimate, dirty ways. Until we fix the economy, we are likely going to continue fighting crime upon crime. This may not totally eradicate crime cause the heart of some people are just wicked whether opportunities dey or not. But this will most likely reduce it.

You don't know from which region your next potential helper will come from and how much comments like this can damage your future. Don't get lost in the malicious desire to hurt other people's feelings. Take care my son.
