Seven children kidnapped from Bauchi and Kano , and sold in Lagos and Enugu States have been finally rescued by the Kano State Police Command.

The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Husani Muhammed Gumel, confirmed this to newsmen in Kano.

Gumel said the children, including a girl were sold for amounts ranging between N400,000 and N500,000 by their alleged kidnappers.

He disclosed this on Thursday in Kano while parading 11 suspects arrested for various offences.

According to him, the kidnapped children, mostly of the Hausa tribe, had been so cultured that they could no longer speak their mother tongue but fluent in Igbo language .

The Commissioner said one of the rescued teenagers, a girl, was kidnapped with the connivance of a medical doctor from an hospital when she was under one year old.

The girl who is now seven years old was sold for N500,000 in Lagos.

“Intelligence-led surveillance duties at Mariri Luxurious Park Kano intercepted one Comfort Amos, aged 45 years, female of Tudun Wada Quarters while transiting to Lagos with a child, one Abdulmutalib Sa’ad, aged 5 years, male, of Zango Quarters in Bauchi State.”

During the preliminary investigation, four other suspects—Chika Ezugbu, aged 52 years, female of Sabon Gari Quarters; Joy Nzelu, aged 43 years, female, of Sabon Gari Quarters; Clement Ali, aged 35 years, of Badawa Quarters, Kano; and Emeka Ekeidigwe, aged 55 years, male, of Weatherhead Sabon Gari Quarters, Kano—were separately arrested for being part of the syndicate committing the crimes.

“It was discovered during the investigation that Abdulmutalib Sa’ad, aged 5 years, male, of Zango Quarters, was abducted on 12/12/2023 from Bauchi State.

“Further investigation revealed that the suspects are in the same cycle of abducting, buying, and selling minors from Bauchi and Kano States, trafficking, and selling them to people within their racket in different locations in Lagos and Anambra States,” Gumel explained.

The Commissioner listed the rescued children to include ; Mahmud Bilyaminu, aged 3 years, male, abducted from Bauchi, renamed Chioma, was sold for N450,000 and rescued at Niger Road, Sabon Gari, Kano. Usman Adamu, aged 8 years, male, abducted from Bauchi, sold for #450,000:00, and renamed Chibuke, was also rescued at Yoruba Road, Sabon Gari, Kano.

Hafizu Hassan, aged 8 years, male, abducted from Bauchi, sold for N480,000:00, and renamed Uche Chukwu, was rescued at Niger Road, Sabon Gari, Kano. Chiamaka Ambrose, aged 7 years, female, abducted on her birthday at Yelwa, Bauchi, sold for N300,000:00, was rescued at Niger Road, Sabon Gari, Kano.

The Commissioner, however, stated that : “We are still searching for her parents. Mohammed Iliya, aged 5 years, male, abducted from Bauchi three years back, sold for $500,000:00, and renamed ‘Chidebere,’ was rescued at Nnewi, Anambra State.

“Some of these children are cultured and assimilated as they can no longer speak their parents’ language. (vitalnewsngr.com)
