The Imo police command says it has uncovered a child trafficking network and rescued 12 minors exploited for street begging.

Henry Okoye, police spokesperson in the state, said in a statement on Friday that the discovery followed an intelligence-led stop-and-search operation on June 20 along the Owerri-Aba expressway.

Okoye said a 42-year-old woman identified as Ann Ngozi Enyenwa, from Umudim Ohekelem in Ngor-Okpala LGA, was arrested during the operation.

He said Enyenwa was found with several children in suspicious condition, prompting a referral of the case to the IGP X-Squad for further investigation.

“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to trafficking children from Ngor-Okpala LGA to Aba, Abia state, where they were forced into street begging,” the statement reads.

“She further disclosed that proceeds from their activities were allegedly sent to Shalom Motherless Babies Home in Okenyi, Eche LGA, Rivers state, where she claimed to be working.”

Okoye said the 12 rescued children were between the ages of five and 13.

He listed their names as Chinyere Nnaralaeze (10), Favour Madufor (13), Ugochi Pius (13), Ifeanyi Pius (9), Favour Timothy (10), Solomon Ihechi Chinuike (7), Chinaza Madufor (10), Nneoma Timothy (9), Promise Maduenyenwa (5), Gospel Chibuike (9), Chinedu Maduenyiwa (11), and Chinonso Paul (10).

He said the children are currently in safe custody and that efforts are ongoing to identify and reunite them with their families.

The command urged members of the public with useful information about the children to come forward or contact the X-Squad unit through 0803 477 3600 or 0816 008 7155.

Aboki Danjuma, Imo commissioner of police, condemned the incident and reaffirmed his commitment to child protection in the state.

Investigations are ongoing, and further updates will be provided in due course,” the statement added.

She said the condition was discovered about three weeks ago and has affected his abdomen. Kira said some medical institutions have told the family that they can no longer administer chemotherapy to the actor. She appealed for recommendations for other possible treatment options, stressing that the family was seeking medical help rather than financial donations. “He has cancer, and it is stage 4. The hospital is saying that they cannot treat him again. They cannot give him chemo anymore,” Kira said. She also acknowledged the support of Senator Solomon Adeola, who represents Ogun West and, according to the family, has been helping to settle the actor’s medical bills. Another daughter, Lima, said Adeola had promised to continue supporting the family financially. Lima appealed to anyone with knowledge of doctors or treatment options that could help her father to come forward. “I cannot watch my daddy die,” she said.
