The Plateau State Police Command has arrested two suspects in connection with alleged trafficking of some girls from Bokkos Local Government Area of the state to Port Harcourt in Rivers State. The Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Chris Alakpe, announced this during a news briefing on the activities of the State Police Command in curbing crime wave in the state.
One of the suspects, Mr Naphtali Zabade, believed he was only earning a honest livelihood as he claimed to have gotten parental consent of the girls he took out of town to Port Harcourt for menial jobs. He told Channels Television that he had been erroneously arrested as he was a missionary from a Christian organization helping the girls to build a future.
He claimed that he was shocked by allegations that he was taking the girls out for prostitution in Port Harcourt, as the people he was taking them to were Christians who would not do such a thing.
