Operatives of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Intelligence
Response Team (IRT) have uncovered the
hideout of suspected sex kingpins
in Dutse area of Abuja and rescued six young girls locked up in one of
the rooms where they were being used as sex slaves.
They also tracked and arrested the leader of the syndicate, one Mrs.
Ifeoma Chichi Daniel, who fled to Lagos as soon as she learnt that
police had uncovered their hideout. Also arrested was one of her
workers, Collins Maduekwe, whose responsibility it was to ensure that
the minors have sex with any man willing to pay.
A police source said the officers acted on a tip-off by a neighbour
alleging that some persons were locked inside a room for several
days.The young girls identified as Blessing John, Chidinma Amakwe, Nancy
Azubuike, Chiamaka Eze, Beauty Ndulue and Amarachi Chinedu drew the
attention of neigbours when they started fighting and no one could open
the door because it was locked from outside.Shortly after they were rescued, they told the police they were lured by
their ‘master’ to come to Abuja and work as under-aged prostitutes.
Part of the agreement was that they would be paid the sum N200,000 each
after six months of sojourn.
The suspects and victims have been handed over to the National Agency
for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Other related Matters
(NAPTIP) for further investigation.
