The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended three women believed to be part of a child-stealing gang, rescuing three children in the process. The suspects, Kikelomo Jimoh, 36; Kayode Elizabeth; and Blessing Anochike, 60, were identified following an intelligence-led investigation into allegations of child theft. During interrogation, Jimoh allegedly confessed and led authorities to Anochike's residence, where the children were discovered.
The rescued children, Christiana Olowokere, 14; Olamilekan Abdurusheed, 16; and Adeniji Rebecca, 12, were found to have different circumstances surrounding their situations, with Christiana reportedly sold for N500,000 and Olamilekan allegedly abducted. The police have since transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a thorough investigation.
Ogun's Police Commissioner, CP Bode Ojajuni, commended the detectives for their swift response and urged residents to remain vigilant in reporting any suspicious activities involving children.
