Sunday, April 27, 2025 - The Oyo State Police Command has uncovered a human trafficking ring in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The police stormed the building where 83 individuals and a child from a
house in the Orogun area of the city, were being held against their will.
Preliminary reports suggest that the victims, believed to be nationals of
the Democratic Republic of Congo, were lured to Nigeria under the pretence of
being offered employment opportunities.
There are also claims that the perpetrators extorted significant sums of
money, reportedly in dollars, from the victims’ parents and relatives as part
of the elaborate scheme.
The rescued individuals are currently at the Police Headquarters in
Eleyele, Ibadan, where authorities are conducting further investigations to
ascertain the full details of the case.
