A woman, Faith Nuhu, was apprehended for trafficking her nephews for N600,000 in Kafanchan, Kaduna State.
Nuhu who was arrested by detectives from the Abuja Police Command, had reportedly kidnapped the children whose names were given as Grace Musa Idris, 13, Philip Musa Idris, 3, and Paul Musa Idris, 1, on the pretext of going to buy them biscuits, but she took the kids to the motor park and boarded a bus to the east where she sold them to the buyer who was already waiting for her.
It was gathered that Nuhu did not operate alone as she worked with five other persons, including a medical doctor, who are all in the child trafficking syndicate.
A police report states that after abducting her sister's kids, Nuhu in company with other members of her gang on their way to Owerri when they decided to drop the eldest of the children, Grace, along the Abuja-Jos highway because they felt she was too old and was intelligent enough to understand what was going on.
After wandering on the road for hours, a motorist stopped on the road and inquired from the little girl what she was doing on the road and she told them what happened.
The police were informed and after a thorough investigation that took the detectives to several parts of the country, the main culprit was arrested and during interrogation, she confessed to the crime and took the police operatives to Benin, Edo State, and Owerri where the other members of the gang were arrested including Ojiaku, her son, John Ojiaku, Chigozie Goodwill, Elizabeth Onyemaobi, and Dr. Amadi Godwin Uzoma.
When the suspects were paraded by the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, it was discovered that Evelyn Ojiaku operates a private hospital, Royal Maternity/Clinic and Child Service located at Umuyi-Akaba-Ikeduru, Owerri-Okigwe road and also engages in sale of children.
The police also found out that Ojiaku had earlier bought a day-old baby belonging to Nuhu, for N100,000 and urged her to look for children to sell to her.
