Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command have arrested 60-year-old Ifeoma Uzor, and 29-year-old Lukman Isiaka, who specialize in interstate child trafficking.
The FCT police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, who disclosed this to newsmen said the suspects were arrested following credible intelligence.
Adeh said a preliminary investigation indicates that Isiaka goes about the streets of various states, tricking children with a popular flavored drink and asking them to come along with him until he successfully lures them out of sight and reach.
Afterward, he will allegedly sell them to Ifeoma at the sum of N180, 000 per child. Ifeoma in turn will sell the child to interested buyers at N850, 000 each.
She said three children were recovered from the suspects and have been successfully reunited with their families.
The police spokesperson said the suspects will be charged to court soon.
