A two-year-old girl who was trafficked from Abuja to Aba for N100,000 has been rescued, and efforts are now underway to locate her parents.
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) reported on Friday that a suspect connected involved in her trafficking has been apprehended by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The statement read: “A two-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.”
NAPTIP called on the biological parents or any relatives of the child to urgently contact the Agency.
