Human Trafficking: Police Rescue Six Christian Teenagers In Hijab, Male Agent by ManirBK: 7:12pm On Aug 07, 2021
Six female Christian teenagers, who
disguised with hijabs as Muslims, and an
alleged male agent of human traffickers,
Innocent Godfrey, 20, have been arrested
by the police in Edo State.
The teenagers: Success Okogbowa, 17,
Gift Osabuohien, 18, Endurance Edigho,
18, Gift Edigho, 17, Oghayero, 19, and
Happiness Oliver, 16, and Godfrey were
billed to travel to Cote d’Ivoire and Libya.

Edo Commissioner of Police, Phillip
Ogbadu, yesterday at the state’s police
headquarters in Benin paraded the victims
of human trafficking and their agent.
Ogbadu disclosed that the teenagers were
intercepted on Thursday by the police at
Isihor check point in Benin, on the ever-
busy Benin-Lagos Road.
He noted that the victims, who were from
Delta, Edo and Enugu states, but all
residing in Edo state, were recruited for
the journey by Godfrey’s elder sister.
Edo police commissioner revealed that
men of the command were able to
intercept the teenagers and their agent,
following intelligence report.
He said: “It is a case of human trafficking.
They will be handed over to officials of the
National Agency for the Prohibition of
Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), for
rehabilitation.” Godfrey disclosed that the
teenagers’ journey was arranged by her
unnamed elder sister, for someone in
Libya.
He said: “I am not the one conveying
them. I am going to Libya, while they are
going to Cote d’Ivoire. We were arrested
by the police at the check point in Isihor.
I am not the one trafficking the girls. The
person that is trafficking them is in Libya
and he paid money to sponsor the girls.”
One of the teenagers, Endurance Edigho,
disclosed that they were recruited by
Godfrey’s elder sister, at a birthday party
of one of their friends.
Edigho said: “She (Godfrey’s elder sister)
asked if I would like to travel out of
Nigeria and that the available works are
cleaning, house help and prostitution. I
told her that I would prefer being a house
help and she asked me to join them. We
went to the house of the person that
would take us on the journey and we
stayed there for three days. We were
arrested on Thursday at the police check-
point. On searching our vehicle by
policemen, they found Indian hemp with
one of the boys in the vehicle and took us
to the police station.”

embarassed embarassed embarassed Most times some of these young girls willingly express interest to take such risks just to end up disappointed in the long run. What will they be doing in Libya or Italy if not prostitution, I pity some parents
