Anambra: ‘Medical doctor’ others nabbed for attempt to traffic 10 children to Abuja
Anambra state Police Command, Monday, said it has arrested one Mr Odinakachukwu Okorie, Ms Ifunanya Ogbonna and a fake medical doctor, Mr Daniel Ikebuilo, over attempt to traffic about ten children to Abuja.
According to the command’s Police Public Relations Office (PPRO), Mr Tochukwu Ikenga, the suspects at different fora connived to take away the children living within their neighbourhood and aged between 5 and 6 years.
He, however, said the force under the Commissioner, Dr Ikioye Orutugu, has equally rescued the children who currently look malnourished in an apartment where they were dumped at Inland-town Onitsha.
“The Divisional Police Headquaters have been monitoring one of the alleged suspects Odinakachukwu in the area on the receipt of a report on 28/07/2024 about a missing 6-year-old boy in the neighbourhood. The Operatives having enough evidence quickly arrested Odinakachukwu Okorie on the receipt of the second complaint on 13/2/2025 of a missing 5-year-old girl in the same area.
“During interrogation, the suspect mentioned Ifunanya as part of the child stealing syndicate. Further revelation led to the rescue of both children earlier reported missing and the arrest of Mr Daniel Ikebuilo (a Fake Doctor). Before they Odinakachukwu and Ifunaya confessed to have perfected their plans to flee with the 5-year-old girl to Abuja.
“Ifunanya also confessed to having sold the Child One million Naria ( #1,000,000) to Mr Daniel. The Police still acting on information gathered, further rescued eight other children in an apartment in Inland town, Onitsha. To this end, the Command sought the assistance of the Anambra State Government through the Ministry of Women Affairs for custody, medical attention, and care to help the children recover from the ordeal,” he stated.
