A suspected human trafficker, Muideen Adebisi, was apprehended by the Osun State Command of the Nigerian Police Force after he attempted to abduct four teenage girls from Ile-Ife in Osun State and take them to Libya.
According to the police spokesperson, three victims reportedly managed to escape and get in touch with their parents after they regained consciousness.
However, the PPRO said that the whereabouts of the remaining fourth victim still remained unknown.
”The suspect (Muideen Adebisi), invited the young girls to a birthday party at a hotel in Ile-Ife and gave them food and drinks. After taking the food and drinks, the girls slept off and later woke up in Kano State en route to Tripoli, the capital of Libya.”
“Three of the girls escaped miraculously in Kano and called their parents, who reported the matter to the police.
“Three of the girls have been reunited with their families, but the whereabouts of the fourth girl were not known at the time of filing this report,” the statement read.
During interrogation, the police said the suspect insisted that the four girls willingly accepted to go to Libya and work and that his brother, who resides in Tripoli, instructed him to get girls and send them to a man in Kano who would take them to Libya.
