Tension has gripped Ogwashi-Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State following the reported abduction of four children on Sunday, allegedly by suspected child traffickers. PUNCH Metro learned that two of the victims, Ebube and Miracle, are siblings. The incident reportedly occurred in the Umuokwe quarters of the town, where residents have accused three women—who recently secured emergency accommodation in the area—of being behind the act. Sources in the community alleged that the women lured the children from their homes under the guise of taking them to buy biscuits from a nearby shop. “It was when the children could not be seen around the compound that neighbours expressed concern. “By the time the neighbours visited the ladies’ apartment, the room was empty as neither the occupants nor the children could be found,” sources stated. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, SP Bright Edafe on Sunday confirmed the incident, adding that landlady of the compound has been arrested and in detention. He said, “The children were abducted three days after the women rented the apartment. “It is true; the problem is that there is no link. They just came and said they wanted to rent an apartment and the landlady gave it to them with no details, no name, no phone number, no agreement and after three days they carried four children. “The landlady has been arrested because her actions are suspicious.”
