According to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, it has detained one suspect and saved no less than four youngsters from human traffickers.
At a news conference on Tuesday in Sokoto, Mohammed Dada, the commandant of the NSCDC in the Sokoto State, verified this.
Mr. Dada claimed that NSCDC agents saw the kids at the Sokoto Central Market preparing to board a vehicle and travel to Illela LGA with the suspect.
“The suspect, Abdulfatai Adeyemi, told our men that they were from the South West heading to Niger Republic through the Illela border.
“He confessed that he received the minor girls from one Alfa in Lagos State, who asked him to deliver them to somebody in Sokoto,” the commandant said.
He added that the command is on track to ensure all other suspects in connection with the crime are apprehended.
He asked parents and guardians not to put their children in such dangerous positions.
