North Africa: The Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), code-named Amotekun Corps, has caught four suspects reported to be involved in child trafficking in Libya.
The suspects have been identified as Oyetunji Ebunoluwa, Dorcas Adefowoke, Miss Adefowoke Toyin and Miss Boluwatife Soremi.
Among the four women, two of them are prophetesses who confessed their crime of arranging over 30 people in preparations for the same mission before the detention.
While parading the four in Ado Ekiti, Joel Komolafe, the Commandant of the Amotekun Corps, highlighted that the suspects were captured after a tip-off by a few citizens.
He confirmed that the initial investigation shows that the suspects who had made a cartel had finalised arrangements to take the two victims to Libya without the permission of their parents.
As per him, the suspects were already on their way to hand over the victims to agents who would sell them as enslaved people in Libya before the command could track them.
The suspects are now sent to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and have been transferred to their head office for additional investigation.
During the investigation, the victims alleged that the suspects vowed to assist them to London, unaware of the fact that they were on their way to a dangerous place.
Shorimu Boluwatife, one of the victims, disclosed that she absconded from her home because her cousin, who is a student of Federal Polytechnic, Adepoju Victor, had raped her.
While reacting to the incident, the spokesman for the NAPTIP, Ekiti State Office, verified that four suspects and other two victims had been handed over to them.
He ensured the general public that the case would be investigated to its root, and whoever was found guilty would be charged according to the extent of the crime they did.
