The Imo State Police Command has uncovered a massive child trafficking scheme, arrested a suspect, Ann Ngozi Enyenwa, and rescued 12 stolen children.

Spokesperson of the command, DSP Okoye Henry, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, June 29, 2025 said the children were intercepted along the Owerri-Aba Express Road following an intelligence-led stop-and-search operation. 

According to the PPRO, the suspect confessed to trafficking children from Ngor-Okpala LGA to Aba, where they were coerced into street begging. 

“The Imo State Police Command, through an intelligence-led stop-and-search operation, has arrested one Ann Ngozi Enyenwa, 42 years old, of Umudim Ohekelem in Ngor-Okpala LGA, and rescued twelve suspected stolen children on 20th June 2025 along the Owerri-Aba Express Road,” the statement read. 

“This arrest led to the uncovering of a disturbing child trafficking network that exploited minors for street begging in Aba, Abia State.

“Upon her arrest, the suspect was found with several children whose appearance and condition immediately aroused suspicion. Consequently, the case was referred to the IGP X-Squad Unit for discreet investigation. 

“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to trafficking children from Ngor-Okpala LGA to Aba, where they were coerced into street begging. 

“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 employed. 

“As a result of the operation, twelve children between the ages of 5 and 13 were rescued. Their alleged names are as follows: 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)—all from various communities in Ngor-Okpala LGA. 

“Presently, the children are currently in safe custody, and efforts are ongoing in collaboration with relevant agencies to identify and reunite them with their biological families. 

“Meanwhile, the Command urges members of the public who recognize any of the rescued children or have helpful information about their identities or families to come forward and assist the Police. 

“Reports can be made at the X-Squad Unit or via the following numbers: 0803 477 3600 or 0816 008 7155. 

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki DANJUMA, condemns all forms of child trafficking and reiterates his unwavering commitment to safeguarding the rights and dignity of every child in the State. 

“Investigations are ongoing, and further updates will be provided in due course.”
