  "summary": "A distraught mother, Ms. Kate Egbewunmi, is among the many parents at the Oyo State Police Command headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, searching for her missing daughter among the 17 children rescued in connection with an alleged trafficking syndicate. The mother, a single parent from Osogbo, Osun State, lost her four-year-old daughter, Bose, three months ago while she was playing outside their home. The Oyo State Police Command has been urging parents and guardians of missing children to visit their headquarters to identify any of the rescued victims. Police Commissioner Abimbola Olugbenga disclosed that investigations into an alleged child trafficking network led to the rescue of 17 children across Oyo, Ogun and Delta states. The probe began after a petition on conspiracy and cyberbullying uncovered a wider operation involving child abduction, sale, and concealment. A key suspect, Adejoke Popoola, also known as Orente Alagbo, allegedly confessed to stealing more than 15 children between the ages of two and seven from churches, parties, and public gatherings. Police efforts are ongoing to identify more victims, track other members of the syndicate, and reunite rescued children with their families.",
