A woman was detained early Wednesday morning at Benue Links motor park after she allegedly attempted to waybill several children to Stella in Benin, according to a Facebook post by Zege Orkwande Sugnen. The post, shared with photos of the woman and the children involved, claims she arrived at the park that morning intending to transport the minors. Security or community members at the park, described as the poster’s brothers, intercepted her before the journey could proceed.
The post asserts that the woman is not the parent of any of the rescued children and describes the action as part of a wider community effort to stop child trafficking. “If not evil, she’s not parent to any of the rescued children,” the writer stated, adding that the ongoing campaign has heightened vigilance. “I love how this campaign is going. Everyone is on the watch. We are all out to arrest traffickers.” The post closed by thanking Benue Links Nig. Ltd for its role in the intervention.
Images accompanying the post show the woman seated and wrapped in a patterned cloth over a yellow top, alongside a separate photo of several children standing outdoors near a building, their faces obscured. The incident has drawn attention on social media as an example of grassroots efforts to disrupt the movement of children across state lines without proper parental or legal authority. Further details from official authorities have not yet been publicly confirmed.
