Members of the Joint Task Force (JTF) stationed in Lokoja, Kogi, on Sunday intercepted 20 vehicles conveying more than 103 children, suspected to have been trafficked.

The JTF Commander, Lt-Col. Gabriel Olorunyomi, made this known to journalists  in Lokoja on Sunday.



Olorunyomi, said that 103 of the passengers were children with ages between 3 and 16 years, while 79 others were 19 to 53 years.

He said that preliminary investigations revealed that the vehicles were conveying the passengers from different communities in Benue, Cross Rivers and Kogi.

Also speaking to journalists at the briefing, Commander of Army Records, Maj-Gen, Alphonsus Chukwu,  said that the children might be victims of child trafficking.

He said that initial interrogations revealed that the children would be received at their destinations by some yet-to-be-identified persons, who would then pay their transport fares to the drivers.

Chukwu said that the drivers were also suspected to be accomplices, as they failed to produce the passengers’ manifest and agreed to carry many of the passengers without collecting their transport fares at the loading points.

The army officer said that the vehicles, drivers and passengers would be transferred to the police for proper investigations and action.

Chukwu, however, said that the development indicated that many parents had failed in their responsibility toward their children’s upbringing.

He urged parents to take proper care of their children so as to ensure that they did not fall into wrong hands.
