The Abia State Police Command has successfully reunited rescued children with their families and apprehended two suspects over alleged conspiracy and child trafficking.

In a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Maureen Chinaka and made available to ABN TV, the suspects, identified as Chinasa Ukachukwu (30) and Adaoma Sunday (30), were arrested following a report that led to the rescue of three children.

According to the police, the case began when Mrs. Chinasa Ukachukwu, widow of the late Mr. Ukachukwu Ojimadu, reportedly left home with her four children on October 4, 2024, claiming she was attending a child dedication ceremony in Aba. However, she returned two days later with only one child and could not account for the whereabouts of the remaining three.

Acting on credible intelligence, detectives of the Command arrested her alleged accomplice, Adaoma Sunday, leading to the recovery of the three missing children in different locations — Aba, Lagos, and Anambra. The children have since been reunited with their families, while the suspects have been charged to court.

The Command also confirmed that, following an earlier press release on October 10, 2025, regarding the rescue of eight infants and ten stolen children, two Lagos residents, Mr. Akinrinola Aliya Ayomide and Mr. Oladapo Olanipekun, have successfully identified and reclaimed their children with valid documentation.
