Police foil Ivory Coast sex trafficking plot in Lagos, rescue three Kaduna girls
The police command in Lagos has apprehended a woman for attempting to traffic three Kaduna girls to Ivory Coast for prostitution.
The suspect allegedly lured the girls, aged 18 to 20, from Kaduna to Lagos with promises of legitimate employment in a restaurant there.
However, upon their arrival in the Ajegunle area of the state on May 23, the suspect allegedly informed them that she intended to send them to Ivory Coast.
One of the victims, who refused to be taken abroad, subsequently reported the matter to the police.
Following the report, the police commissioner, Fatai Tijani, directed that the case be transferred from the Tolu Division in Ajegunle to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba for further investigation.
The investigation into the allegations of conspiracy, deception and human trafficking is being handled by the Anti-Human Trafficking/Gender Unit of the SCID under the supervision of the deputy commissioner of police in charge of the department, Dayo Akinbisehin.
