According to Iringe-Koko, the four suspects operated in the state’s Obio/Akpor and Ikwerre local government areas prior to their arrest.

She added that the 10 pregnant women were rescued by the Force after the raid and arrest of the suspects.

“On Saturday, January 7, 2023, around 4.45 pm, while acting on credible intelligence available to the Rivers State Police Command, C4I Intelligence Unit operatives raided two houses at Igwuruta and Omagwa communities respectively, where victims of child trafficking were being kept.

“The victims rescued in the operation are 10, most of them pregnant,” she said.

According to her, investigations revealed that when a victim gave birth, the syndicate leader kept the child and paid N500,000, while some of the babies previously delivered in the houses were sold.

“All the victims confessed that they were lured to the illicit sales of children because of the need to meet some financial challenges. A Honda Pilot Jeep, white, was recovered from the syndicate leader,” she added.
