THE National Agency For the Prohibition Of Trafficking In Persons, Makurdi Zonal Command has rescued five victims and apprehended eight suspects.

Other members include; Samuel Takura (50), Williams Minde (35), Mrs. Celina Obiasogu (52), Virginia Okonkwo (50), Anthonia Onura (60), and Ede Sunday Ngozi (52).
The Zonal Commander, Mrs Gloria Bai, told journalists on Saturday that efforts were ongoing to apprehend Mama Nnamdi, who is at large.
She disclosed this in a statement issued and made available to journalists on Saturday in Makurdi.
She said the command swung into action after receiving a distress call from a mother who was looking for her twins.
Bai said upon investigation, it was discovered that the twins were allegedly sold in December 2023.
