The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has confirmed the arrest of a suspected human trafficker identified as Muideen Adebisi, who attempted to steal four teenage girls from Ile-Ife in Osun State to Libya.
The Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, in a statement on Monday stated that the suspect had invited the victims to a birthday party in Ile-Ife, during which he offered them food and drinks but after the teenagers took the food and drinks, they fell asleep and only woke up at a place in Kano where papers were being processed for them to travel to Libya.
“Three of the girls escaped miraculously in Kano and called their parents, who reported the matter to the police. During interrogation, the police said the suspect insisted that the four girls willingly accepted to go to Libya and work and that his brother who resides in Tripoli instructed him to get girls and send them to a man in Kano who would take them to Libya.
