Police Rescue 10 Malnourished Children, Arrest Fake Medical Doctor, Child Trafficking Syndicates

By Victor Okezie

The Anambra State Police Command has made a significant breakthrough in combating child trafficking, arresting two syndicates, including a fake medical doctor, and rescuing 10 malnourished children.

According to Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Irutugu, who addresses the press, the police operatives acted on intelligent-led information and arrested Mr. Odinakachukwu Okorie, Ifunanya Ogbonna, and a fake medical doctor, Mr. Daniel Ikebuilo, on February 15, 2025.

The suspects were found to be part of a child-stealing syndicate, and further investigation led to the rescue of two children who had been reported missing. The suspects confessed to planning to flee with a 5-year-old girl to Abuja, and Ifunanya Ogbonna admitted to selling the child to Mr. Daniel for One Million Naira (#1,000,000).

The police also rescued eight other children from an apartment in Inland-town, Onitsha, and are working with the Anambra State Government to provide custody, medical attention, and care to help the children recover from their ordeal.
