Child trafficking is a serious problem in many parts of Nigeria, and recent events have shed light on just how much money criminals make from this illegal trade. Two men suspected of kidnapping children revealed shocking details about their operations, saying they earn N800,000 for each child they abduct.
These men were caught after a police investigation in Oyigbo Local Government Area. They confessed their involvement in a child trafficking group made up of four people — two men and two women. This gang works together to kidnap and traffic children, making a huge profit from their crime.
A video of the suspects’ confession was shared on the social media platform X by a user called @PH_Socials. In the video, the men openly admitted to the high amount of money they receive for every child they take. This reveals the disturbing scale and business side of child trafficking in the region.
After the confession, police arrested the two men, hoping to track down the other members of the gang and stop the trafficking ring. Authorities are working hard to protect children and prevent these crimes from happening again.
The news caused many reactions on social media. One user, @PurpleKingTony, compared hearing about the kidnapping to feeling pain from acupuncture, showing how disturbing the news is. Another person, @IbsurajMohd, said that what Nigeria really needs to fight crime like this is better teamwork and cooperation among citizens and the government.
Some were even more outspoken. A user named @WendyHunt1986 said the people who caught the traffickers deserve rewards, and she suggested that criminals involved in child trafficking should face the harshest punishments to stop others from doing the same.
This case highlights how serious child trafficking is and how much criminals benefit from it. It also shows the importance of police work and community support in fighting these crimes.
