A man who had enough nerve to sell off children, is being made to face the consequences of his actions.
Gabriel Ajor, a 49-year-old farmer, has been arraigned before a Lokoja Chief Magistrate’s Court.
He was arraigned for allegedly abducting and selling seven children including his two sons and an eight-year-old baby for N400,000.
According to Vanguard, Ajor was alleged to have abducted and sold the children under the pretext of sending them to schools in Owerri and United States of Americal.
On arraignment at the Lokoja Chief Magistrate’s Court II on Monday, the accused was said to have tricked one Kenneth Omale and John Attah, parents of five of the children, into believing he meant well.
According to the prosecuting police officer, Cornet Ayabatu (ASP), the accused of Nwajala in Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi, between March and June, criminally conspired with others now at large to commit the offence.
Ayabatu said that the matter was reported on July 8, by Kenneth Omale of Nwajala at the police area command office, Idah and Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Lokoja. He said the children, Goodway Kenneth, 5; Kindness Kenneth, 3; Shedrack John, 6; Goodday John, 6; Confidence Ojonuba, 8 months old; Gift Gabriel, 6 and Destiny Gabriel, 3, all male, were allegedly taken to an undisclosed destination that could not be traced.
Ayabatu said police investigation led to the arrest of Ajor who confessed that he was paid N400,000 for the seven children by one Malik in Owerri, Imo State.
He was charged with criminal conspiracy and kidnapping contrary to sections 97(1) of the Penal Code and Section 4(1), punishable under section 4(3)(a) of Kogi State Kidnapping and other Related Offences (Prohibition) Law 2015.
The prosecutor however, told the court that investigation into the matter was in progress and asked for adjournment to enable the police address some grey areas.
In his ruling, the Chief Magistrate, Alhassan Husaini said that he was inclined to put on hold all ancillary applications connected to the case till the next sitting in view of the weighty and serious nature of the allegations.
Husaini therefore ordered that the accused be remanded at the state CID detention facility in Lokoja and adjourned to August 24 for further mention.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

The people you are envious of, you will most likely antagonise at any given opportunity if otherwise you will ignore even if they try to annoy you.
