The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Kebbi State Command, has rescued five underage children from suspected traffickers who were allegedly taking them to the Benin Republic under the guise of securing better education for them.
The children were rescued in Edo State from a suspected gang leader identified as Pastor Ayuba while he was allegedly transporting them towards the Benin Republic.
The NAPTIP Commander in Kebbi State, Misbahu Iya Kaura, disclosed this on Monday night while handing the rescued children over to the Kebbi State Government at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi.
The deputy governor subsequently reunited the rescued children with their parents.
One of the parents, Emmanuel Aduba, expressed appreciation to the Kebbi State Government and NAPTIP officials for rescuing the children.
