The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking Persons (NAPTIP) has rescued a two-year-old girl trafficked for N100,000 from Abuja to Aba in Abia State.
The agency said the suspect has been arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) over the crime.
NAPTIP said: “A 2-year-old girl, renamed Chiamaka Favor (alias), who was trafficked from Abuja to Aba in February 2025, has been rescued by NAPTIP Abia Command on May 8, 2025.”
“The suspected trafficker, arrested by DSS Abia and handed over to NAPTIP, is alleged to have worked with three trafficking syndicates from Abuja and sold the child to a buyer for N100,000. Investigations are ongoing.”
