The police also rescued 10 looking malnourished Children in an apartment in Inland-town Onitsha.
According to the State Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Orutugu, the Divisional Police Headquarters 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.
He disclosed that the operatives, having had 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.
CP Ikioye informed that during interrogation, the suspect mentioned Ifunanya as part of the child stealing syndicate.
CP Ikioye stated that “Further revelation led to the rescue of both children earlier reported missing and the arrest of Mr Daniel Ikebuilo a fake Doctor.
“Before Odinakachukwu and Ifunaya confessed to having perfected their plans to flee with the 5-year-old girl to Abuja, Ifunanya also confessed to having sold the Child One N1,000,000 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.
“Lastly, 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 parents.”
