The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old woman, Opeyemi Adetoro, for trafficking three girls to Libya from the Oke Itoku area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Chief Superintendent of Police Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement released on Monday.

According to Odutola, the suspect was arrested after the mother of one of the trafficked victims reported to the police that her child had been taken to Libya without her consent.

“On March 2, 2025, at approximately 6:40 p.m., Kehinde Somorin visited the police station to report a disturbing incident. She stated that just 40 minutes earlier, at 6:00 p.m., she received alarming information from her neighbour, Latifat, who informed her that 28-year-old Opeyemi Adetoro had taken Somorin’s 17-year-old daughter, Ifeoluwa, to Libya without her consent.”

Odutola stated that during interrogation, the suspect admitted to transporting the children from Ogun State to Akure, Ondo State, from where they boarded a bus to Sokoto State, where an agent was waiting to smuggle them into Libya.

“Upon receiving the report, the case was immediately referred to the surveillance team for further investigation. Interrogation revealed that on March 1, 2025, Opeyemi Adetoro took three children — 17-year-old Somorin Ifeoluwa, 16-year-old Ameerah Bamgboye, and another girl identified only as Okikiola — from Ogun State to Akure, Ondo State. From there, they boarded another vehicle headed to Sokoto State, where an agent was waiting to smuggle them into Libya.”

Odutola further revealed that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

The driver’s identity remains unknown, and the children were taken without their parents’ consent. They are currently en route to Sokoto State, ultimately bound for Libya. The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, for further investigation.”

The Oluwo of Iwo, Osun State, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has supported the plan to introduce Sharia law in the South-West.

According to him, Sharia law has been in practice in Yoruba land for a long time.

This came after an Islamic organisation planned the inauguration of a Sharia council scheduled for January 11, 2025, at the Muslim Community Islamic Centre, Oba Adeyemi High School Road, Mobolaje Area, Oyo, Oyo State.

But the inauguration has been postponed indefinitely following public outcry.

The event drew criticism from a cross-section of Nigerians, with many arguing that the predominantly Yoruba South-West was distinct from the northern region, where Muslims were in the majority.

Speaking to Sunday PUNCH, Oba Akanbi, noted that Sharia law was already in Yoruba land.

He said, “We have Sharia banks in the South-West, and these banks operate according to Sharia law. Sharia law has been in Iwo for over 100 years, and there is a Sharia college in Iwo. It’s the right of Muslims to choose customary law or the high court.

Many Muslims feel disenfranchised when it comes to the sharing of inheritance and divorce matters. Western education doesn’t understand the ways of Muslim divorce, marriage, and inheritance. Sharia law is in the constitution of Nigeria, and it’s visible in the North, where there are Nigerians. Anywhere we have Muslims, there is Sharia.”

Oba Akanbi stressed that Sharia law was only for Muslims and did not concern others.

“If any other person likes it, they can convert to Islam, and Muslims can also convert to Christianity. Everyone is free. Sharia shouldn’t be a problem for other religions. No government can deny Muslims their inalienable rights,” he explained.

They love to dominate everything including crime.
They will never let non Igbos join their gangs in Alaigbo but insist in joining gangs in other regions crying marginalization if you don't allow them.

Badtman:
You are commenting out of topic man …I’m not their kind but Seyi responded
accordingly and also the Bayo Onanuga isn’t my favorite or someone I cherished and I know he’s not tribalist but eagerly responding to the massive hate attacks from different folks that lack home affairs training before showing it on Social space …..You get what you gives

Badtman:
Did you check well that Seyi Law responded to the hate messages against the whole Yoruba or You just love typing…..

Believeintruth:
Dude do not gaslight me, i am painting a scenario here. will you say this if Seyi Law replied an igbo person? be sincere with yourself.
