Edafe stated that the two women were allegedly handed over to a woman identified only as "Madam Purity," who reportedly forced them into prostitution.
The Delta State Police Command says it has rescued a 25-year-old woman allegedly trafficked to Côte d'Ivoire and forced into prostitution, and arrested a 26-year-old suspected human trafficker linked to the crime.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Bright Edafe, said the suspect admitted during interrogation to trafficking the rescued victim and another young woman, also in her twenties, to Côte d'Ivoire.
“The arrest followed a petition alleging that the suspect, Ese Betty Isiorho (26), deceived the 25-year-old victim with the promise of learning a hairdressing trade in Côte d'Ivoire,” Edafe stated.
