ANAMBRA POLICE BURST CHILD STEALING/CHILD TRAFFICKING SYNDICATE IN 3-3, ARREST THREE SUSPECTS INCLUDING A FAKE MEDICAL DOCTOR AND RESCUE TEN CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 TO 8 YEARS OLD


I am pleased to address you and Ndi Anambra today on yet another breakthrough on our commitment to protecting vulnerable children and combating human trafficking in the State 


Police Operatives attached to 3-3 divisional Headquaters on an intelligent-led information investigation on 15/2/2025 arrested one Mr Odinakachukwu Okorie ‘M’, Ifunanya Ogbonna ‘F’ and a fake medical doctor Mr Daniel Ikebuilo ‘M’ and rescued ten (10) looking malnourished Children in an apartment in Inland-town Onitsha. 


The Divisional Police Headquaters have been monitoring one of the alleged suspects Odinakachukwu in the area on the receipt of 

a report on 28/07/2024 about a missing 6-year-old boy in the neighbourhood. The Operatives having enough evidence quickly arrested Odinakachukwu Okorie on the receipt of the second complaint on 13/2/2025 of a missing 5-year-old girl in the same area. 


During interrogation, the suspect mentioned Ifunanya as part of the child stealing syndicate. Further revelation led to the rescue of both children earlier reported missing and the arrest of Mr Daniel Ikebuilo (a Fake Doctor). Before their Odinakachukwu and Ifunaya confessed to have perfected their plans to flee with the 5-year-old girl to Abuja. 


Ifunanya also confessed to having sold the Child One million Naria (#1,000,000) to Mr Daniel. The Police still acting on information gathered,further rescued eight other children in an apartment in Inland town, Onitsha. 


To this end, the Command sought the assistance of the Anambra State Government through the Ministry of Women's Affairs for custody, medical attention, and care to help the children recover from the ordeal. 


This achievement highlights the importance of community-police collaboration and intelligence gathering in combating child trafficking.


Lastltly, the Command calls on  anyone looking for his or her child to come to Anambra State Police Command for necessary action and possible reunion to their parent. 


Thank you and God bless you
