The command also paraded other suspected criminals for their alleged involvement in different criminal offences carried out in the state in the month of March.
Parading the traffickers at the State Police Headquarters, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmad Abdurrahman, explained that the suspects were arrested following a report made by Uchechi on 5th March that one Abubakar Idris took her to moonlight hospital where she put to bed a baby boy.
“However, Dr. Agbodache of the said hospital bought the child at the sum of N300,000.00 from her and she used the sum of 45,000.00 to get a sewing machine” he noted.
Abdurrahman further explained that upon arrest, the doctor admitted that he sold the child to one Ukamaka Onah at the sum of 1,000.000.00, adding that the child has been rescued, while investigations are ongoing to arrest more suspects.
While noting that other suspects were arrested for offences ranging from conspiracy, murder and cultism, he said the latest feat by the police, state CID and Anti cult was achieved through the ongoing Operation Puff Adder of the Nigerian police force.
“Items recovered include one dagger, one sewing machine and a cash sum of N700,000.00” he said.
He recalled that the command had rescued 13 victims who were kidnapped in the state and arrested a female member of the kidnap gang, adding that efforts are being made to apprehend and prosecute other members of the gang.
The commissioner called on residents in the state to always provide the police with relevant information so the state can be completely rid of criminal elements.
