The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has rescued a two-year-old girl, renamed Chiamaka Favor, who was trafficked from Abuja to Aba. The rescue operation, conducted by NAPTIP’s Abia Command on May 8, 2025, followed the arrest of a suspected trafficker by the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to a statement posted on NAPTIP’s official Facebook page on Friday, the suspect allegedly sold the child for ₦100,000 and collaborated with three trafficking syndicates based in Abuja. The suspect has been handed over to NAPTIP for further investigation.
NAPTIP is appealing to the public for help in reuniting the child with her biological parents, urging relatives to contact the agency promptly.
This rescue comes weeks after NAPTIP, in collaboration with the Taraba State Ministry of Women Affairs and Child Development, saved eight trafficked children who were deceived and taken to Aba, Onitsha, and parts of Imo State in April 2025. Investigations into the latest case are ongoing as NAPTIP intensifies efforts to combat human trafficking across Nigeria.
