Woman and others arrested for child trafficking in Benue


Benue State Police Command arrested a pastor and  4 others for child trafficking.

19 year old Aladi Abbah who resides at Ugbokolo in Okpokwu local government area of Benue State, was persuaded by her female neighbour to sell off her 8 month- old baby for N200,000 which she agreed to. The mother of the sold baby traveled back to the village at Ugbokolo and was confronted by her aged  father who enquired about the where-about of his grand child and was told the baby was missing.

But not impressed with her explanations, her aged parents alerted the police who apprehended her and after undergoing interrogations, she opened up and this led to the arrest of her accomplice and after further interrogation, the duo confessed to the Police that the baby was sold to a woman in Kano who eventually sold her to a female pastor.
