The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted five pregnant teenagers who were suspected to be victims of child trafficking.
This was revealed in a signed statement by the agency’s Director, Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi on Sunday, September 17, 2023.
Babafemi said that the agency’s Imo state operatives on patrol along Aba-Owerri expressway on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, intercepted the pregnant girls who are suspected to be used as bab¥ factory. They were picked up while being relocated from their hideout in the Naze area of Owerri to the Ikenegbu area of the state capital.
The victims include Chioma Emmanuel, 15; Uma Faith, 15; Divine Adimonye, 17; Opara Gift, 15; and Amarachi Mbata, 16. In their statements, they claimed they didn’t know the men who impregnated them. The Imo state command of the Agency has since been directed to hand them over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, for further investigations.
