 21 CHILDREN RESCUED AS YAGBA EAST OFFICIALS INTERCEPT MANGAL CEMENT TRUCK, SUSPECTS MOVED TO LOKOJA


8th December, 2025


Authorities in Yagba East Local Government Area have confirmed the interception of a Mangal Cement truck found transporting 21 children under suspicious circumstances.


Local security operatives reportedly stopped the vehicle during a routine check and discovered the minors hidden inside. The incident immediately raised concerns about possible child trafficking or unlawful transportation.


Following preliminary questioning, the suspects linked to the vehicle were taken into custody. Officials say they have since been transferred to Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, for further investigation and interrogation by higher security authorities.


The rescued children are now in safe custody as the state works to verify their identities, check their health conditions, and establish the purpose of their movement.


Yagba East authorities have praised the vigilance of security personnel, noting that the swift interception may have prevented a more serious crime. The investigation is ongoing.
