The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has successfully reunited a 5-year-old girl, Rahama Ibrahim, with her parents in Damaturu, Yobe State, after she was abducted months ago by a suspected child trafficker.

According to the agency, the suspect, a driver linked to criminal child theft activities, was intercepted and arrested in Abuja by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS). Both the suspect and an accomplice have since been charged to court in Abuja.

In a statement issued on Friday, July 18, by the agency’s Press Officer, Vincent Adekoye, NAPTIP Director General, Binta Adamu Bello, cautioned parents against entrusting their children to casual acquaintances, unverified neighbours, or one-off service providers, stressing that such actions increase children’s vulnerability to trafficking and abduction.
