The police apprehended three suspects in connection with the trafficking operation: Shafi’u Salisu, 25, from Bachirawa Quarters, Kano; Rebecca Adebayo, 22, from Kwara State; and Mujibat Olagoke, 27, from Oyo State.

The rescue took place on August 3 at approximately 4:15 p.m. along the Tsanyawa Federal Highway, Kano, where the victims were en route to Libya for labor exploitation. The women come from various states including Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, and Imo.

Babale commended the Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Salman Dogo-Garba, for his support and cooperation. He assured that the suspects will face court charges once investigations are complete.

Babale also called on parents to safeguard their children from exploitation and encouraged the public to report any suspicious trafficking activities to the relevant authorities for swift action.
