The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested three suspected child traffickers and rescued seventeen underage children in Zaria Local Government Area.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, in a statement, said the suspects were apprehended following credible intelligence on the suspicious movement of some children under the Danmagaji Flyover in Zaria.
He explained that police detectives from the Danmagaji Division swiftly swung into action, leading to the rescue of seventeen children of various ages who were allegedly being prepared for trafficking to Abuja and other parts of the country and beyond.
The police identified the three members of the syndicate as Musa Shuaibu from Katsina State, Sani Mamman, also from Katsina, and Mubarak Ismail from Kano State, who were arrested in connection with the crime.
