The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has disclosed how a suspected member of a human trafficking syndicate allegedly kidnapped 15 minors in Nasarawa State and sold them for N30m.
The NSCDC said the suspect allegedly posed as an official of the National Council of Child Rights Advocates and deceived the children’s parents into handing them over to him.
Public Relations Officer, Babawale Afolabi, disclosed this at a news briefing at the corps’ headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
Afolabi said the suspect operated under the guise of running a nongovernmental organisation and orphanage programme known as the Back to School Project, using promises of free education to lure less privileged parents into releasing their children.
