The Oyo State Police Command has uncovered a human trafficking ring in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
In a major operation, police officers rescued 83 individuals and a child from a house in the Orogun area of the city, where they had allegedly been held for an undisclosed period.
Preliminary findings suggest that the victims, believed to be citizens of the Democratic Republic of Congo, were enticed to Nigeria under the false promise of employment opportunities.
There are also allegations that the traffickers extorted large sums of money, reportedly in dollars, from the victims’ parents and relatives as part of the elaborate scheme.
The rescued individuals are currently being housed at the Police Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, where further investigations are underway to establish the full circumstances surrounding the case.
