A woman identified as Chioma
Anoruo has been arrested by the State
Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID) in Owerri, Imo state after she
confessed to selling about 19 children
to ritualists.
According to a report by The
Guardian, Mrs. Anoruo was arrested
by the Orlu community local vigilante
group while the husband, Emeka who
had sighted the vigilance group
member, escaped through the back
door leaving his wife to be
apprehended and forced to open their
doors where the victims were found
inside a room in captivity.
A score of Five children, including a
new-born baby, already kidnapped
for sale, were rescued from her
house, while a Sports Utility Vehicle
(SUV) belonging to Emeka, was
recovered along with an undisclosed
large sum of money.
She also confessed that they had sold
more than 19 children and the
remaining five were waiting to be
sold to their customers before her
arrest.
Residents had complained of
continuous disappearance of children
in the area, which was of serious
concern to the community leaders. A
vigilante group member of the
community who didn’t want to be
named said: “This year alone, the
community has recorded a large
number of missing children.”
A pupil of Ezioha Community School,
Okporo identified as Master Dominion
Obasi was, on March 30, kidnapped in
the school premises and since then,
has not been found.
Moreover, two sons of the same
parents, identified as Chukwuemeka
and Chigozie, pupils of Holy Trinity
Anglican School, Amazu in Okporo
were abducted while returning home
after their school had closed for the
day.
As the abductors were trying to
escape with them on their motorcycle,
a palm wine tapper, who saw the two
men while on top of a palm tree,
raised the alarm, which attracted the
attention of vigilance group members,
who pursued them and apprehended
one of the suspects identified as
Ebuka.
It was Ebuka’s confession that led to
the arrest of Anoruo. He said she and
her husband were his sponsors, who
buy each child from his gang for
N100,000.
Human Ritualist
Anpruo confessed that her major
work in the business was to keep the
victims while her husband would
contact buyers and sell them adding
that human merchandise had been
their family business for years.
The vigilance group, have however
hannded over the suspect and the
rescued victims to SCID in Owerri
under a department led by one Supol
Obi to further innvestigate the matter.
