Taraba Govt and NAPTIP Save Eight Trafficked Children

Eight Trafficked Children Rescued by Taraba Govt and NAPTIP

​The Taraba State Government, in collaboration with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), has successfully rescued eight children who were trafficked from Minda village in Lau Local Government Area. The children were deceitfully taken to southeastern states, including Aba, Onitsha, and Imo, under false pretenses that they were orphans.

Authorities intercepted the traffickers in Gembu, Sardauna Local Government Area, effectively disrupting their illegal operation. Following an extensive investigation, the rescued children were reunited with their biological parents in March 2025. The victims confirmed they had been sold without their families’ knowledge.

The principal suspect, identified as Mrs. Patience, along with several accomplices, has been apprehended and is currently in custody as legal proceedings continue. Efforts are still underway to locate and rescue any remaining trafficked children.

Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting vulnerable children across the state.
