Luck ran out of 18 fake operators of children
clinic in Ikot Akpan-Abia, in the outskirts of Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State, Wednesday, as men of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, clamped down on the
clinic and rescued three children.
The state commandant of NSCDC, Mr. Pedro Idaba,
said at the scene of the incident that officers of the
command swooped on the culprits following a tip-off.
He said: “This place was used as a medical clinic
where they raised young girls, get young men to get
them pregnant and sell the children to people that
desire children. We arrested the suspects, 18 of them,
and recovered three children.
“Earlier in the day, we arrested a man who sexually
abused his 12-year-old daughter. Before then, we got
information that led to Ndoki in Abia State and Oyigbo
in Rivers State where we also arrested 18 teenagers
who were abducted and kept in various locations
within the three states which we have handed over to
NAPTIP.”
Idaba noted also that criminals involved in stealing
and vandalization of high-tension cables,
telecommunication equipment, adulteration of
petroleum products were apprehended and charged to
court accordingly.
According to him, “the command has been very
meticulous in the protection of petroleum pipelines,
power equipment and telecommunication facilities.
“We implore members of the public to continue to
report suspected and obvious criminal elements in
their environments to the command for necessary
action.”
