ANAMBRA POLICE BUSTS A CHILD TRAFFICKING SYNDICATE, ARRESTS ONE SUSPECT AND RECOVERS THIRTY-THREE UNDERAGE GIRLS IN AGULERI

Operatives of the Anambra State Police Command attached to the Rapid Response Squad Awkuzu today 7th January 2026 recorded breakthrough in an ongoing investigation involving a case of kidnapping, abduction, missing children and child trafficking. The Operatives arrested a female suspect, one Ifeoma Success Anthony aged 37 years and rescued 33 (thirty-three) underaged girls in a house at Awkuzu.

This feat follows a distress report received through the Police Command Control Room from
the victim's relatives on how their three children: Divine Mbam (Female), 14 years, Nwagu Favour (Female), 15 years, and Oke Blessing (Female), 18 years respectively who were abducted since 26th September 2025, in Ebonyi State, and taken to an unknown location were sighted at Emma Pigin Road, Aguleri.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the building where the girls were, is allegedly used for child trafficking and prostitution and owned by one Mrs. Ngozi Nnanyelugo (Female), aged 45 years, who is currently at large.

Meanwhile, efforts are currently ongoing to arrest the principal suspect, while investigations continue to determine the full extent of the crime and identify other accomplices. Further developments will be communicated in due course.

The Anambra State Police Command remains committed to protecting lives, especially vulnerable children, and urges members of the public to continue providing useful information to aid ongoing investigations.

That's huge oo, my people should know that money is not everything.

Desperation to make money by any means

Great Job, it's very important for police to do more of this because the rate at with under aged girls are missing is alarming

Nothing to see here.

Normal stuff over there.

Kudos to the Anambra State Police for achieving this successful mission. Continued success to them and hopefully other state police take notice and replicate this positive crime fighting energy.

i think the issue is the money mentality

Why no the sex slaves in Sokoto?

Pathetic
This evil practice should stop!

shortgun:
Recoverd from themselves.

All the brothels and ashawo houses all over Nigeria settle police officers to operate. This is probably a case where the operators refused to make multiple payments to different police units.
When you know the level of the rot in this country, you'll fill ashamed to be called a Nigerian but I am happy that Peter Obi is coming to give us a real country

Lol let me follow u and enjoy ur write up. That's y I love Anambra not rot at all.

They just love baby factories, spits

So the Police never knew all of this was going on under their nose? ... and how can they not arrest the woman?... can't find her? ...who tipped her off?

I don't know where you're from, but know this your region has a dent or foulness it suffering from

omoredia:
Why no the sex slaves in Sokoto?

Is because sokoto state has the highest poverty rate... No money to hire ashewo

Still them I guess Nigeria is so rot filled with people without conscience

I will keep saying it. Scid Anambra state headquarters is the best. Very much better than zone 13 and under a very good DC too who chooses diligence over money.

Na dem help me recover my cousin's little son in Zamfara , how they did it is what I cannot fathom. You will visit zone 13, dem go sit down on top of your matter. Three months, you never here a thing from them.

Thank you Scid Awka , their legal section too is wonderful and under a very good admin too..it is there that I knew for the first time that we have good people in Nigeria police. Nlfpmod
