Polygamous sect leader Samuel Bateman convicted on Arizona child abuse charges after girls found in unventilated trailer    A polygamous sect leader already serving a 50-year federal prison sentence has been convicted on additional state child abuse charges after authorities discovered three girls inside an unventilated trailer he was transporting through Arizona. The case stems from an August 2022 incident near Flagstaff, when a witness reported seeing small fingers reaching through gaps in a trailer door. Police stopped Samuel Bateman’s vehicle and found girls ages 11 to 14 inside a confined space equipped only with a makeshift toilet, sofa, and camping chairs. Bateman was previously convicted in federal court for coercing children as young as 9 into sexual acts and for plotting kidnappings from protective custody.

UPDATE ON FALSE REPORT OF ALLEGED KIDNAPPING OF STUDENTS AT ADUWAWA AND IKPOBA HILL, BENIN CITY

 

Further to the earlier press release issued by the Edo State Police Command regarding the false and misleading report of an alleged kidnapping of students at Green Park Academy Aduwawa and Western Boys’ College Ikpoba Hill, Benin City, the Command wishes to inform the general public that one Uzebor Emmanuella ‘f’, popularly known on social media as “Aza Woman,” has been arrested in connection with the viral publications.

 

Preliminary investigations reveal that the suspect knowingly disseminated false claims in various social media posts alleging that about 6 persons had been kidnapped through various Mini transport Buses. According to her some purportedly escaped from their abductors, while others paid ransome. These publications generated widespread apprehension, heightened public anxiety, and could undermine public confidence in the security architecture of the State.

 

The Edo State Police Command reiterates that the deliberate spread of false information, particularly on matters relating to public safety and security, is a serious offence with far-reaching consequences. Such actions are capable of inciting panic, disrupting public order, and diverting security resources from genuine emergencies. The security of a state should never be jeopardized for views, engagement, online relevance, or any other form of social media gratification.

 

The suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.

 

The Command therefore advises members of the public to exercise restraint, verify information from credible sources before sharing, and refrain from using social media platforms to disseminate falsehoods capable of disturbing public peace and order.
