Inuwa said, “On July 24, 2017, a case of child trafficking was reported by one Mrs Esther Abraham against her husband – Abraham Moses Udoh, who stole away her two year-old-boy- Elisha without her consent.

“Upon investigation, Abraham Moses Udoh revealed that his child, Elisha, was sold by him to an unknown woman residing in Uyo in Akwa Ibom state at the sum of N150, 000. But the sum of N103, 000 was recovered from him and registered as exhibit”.

“Investigation is in progress to arrest the alleged buyer and recover the child,” the Commissioner stated. Inuwa said most of those paraded have confessed to their different crimes and would be charged to court as soon as the Police complete investigation.

He further disclosed that out of about 500 cases prosecuted by his command, the Police had secured at least judgement on about 300 while others were pending.

“From February this year when I took over, as Commissioner, we have arrested at least 500 suspects and more than 300 suspects have been charged to court.”

“Between the period under review, we have arrested twenty seven suspects while the following items were recovered: 5 locally made pistol, one makarov pistol, one locally made revolver pistol, three rounds live cartridge, one Nokia 105 handset, one HTC handset, the sum of N268,000, one infinix handset, one Samsung mobile phone etc,” he said.

The Commissioner appealed to members of the public to collaborate with the Police in terms of giving useful information, adding, “police cannot accomplish the set-goals without collaborative efforts of members of the public.”

On the whereabouts of the child, Udoh told newsmen that he does not know where the buyers have taken the child to and that he regretted his action. The suspect hails from Ikot Ekpene in Akwa Ibom State.
