Mr Edafe said that the command was still investigating the matter.
The anti-graft agency said she will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
The minister reaffirmed the government’s efforts to close Nigeria’s fish production gap and reduce the foreign exchange spent on fish imports.
Mr Edafe said that the rescued victims had since reunited with their families.
According to him, the suspect was a key supplier of weapons to bandit groups in Northern Nigeria.
He urged critics, particularly those outside the state who sow seeds of discord, to exercise restraint.

Mr Oborevwori insisted that the revitalisation of the ports would create jobs, attract investments, and boost national revenue.
Mr Edafe said the suspects specialised in robbing and defrauding unsuspecting victims of valuables such as phones, motorcycles, and jewelry.
