Delta State Police Command has arrested two suspected child traffickers for alleged theft of a five-year-old female pupil of Skyset Academy, Asaba, to be sold for N12 million at Onitsha, Anambra State.
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Zanna, announced this yesterday while parading the suspects alongside 66 others arrested for armed robbery, cultism, kidnapping, murder, vandalism and oil bunkering.
He said the two traffickers were apprehended by men of the command following a tip-off.
