Ogun State Police Command has arrested a couple Godday and Ebere Samuel for alleged involvement in human trafficking. They were arrested on October 17, 2022, following a report lodged at Atan Ota Divisional Headquarters by one Adeniji Okikiolu, who reported that his 16-year- old daughter, Maria Adeniji suddenly disappeared from home on October 16, 2022. However, while a search party was organised to look for her, he was informed that the missing girl was seen Ebere Samuel the previous day. Upon the information, Ebere Samuel was invited to the station, but she vehemently denied ever seeing the missing girl on or before that day. Not satisfied with her plea, she was subsequently detained at the station. Surprisingly, when her husband was contacted, the husband confessed to having taken the missing Maria somewhere in Lagos for onward transportation to Burkina Faso, where she will be engaged as a maid to one of their associates. Preliminary investigation revealed that the couple has been into the business of human trafficking and that their accomplices are in Burkina faso. The state’s Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
