The police have arrived. In Delta State, a location in Aragba, Otokutu, Ughelli South council, where underage children are trafficked and used as sex slaves was discovered yesterday.
The sex house was corroborated by DSP Bright Edafe, who said the command received information on April 15, 2022 at about 2330hrs that the Fagoma Hotel in Delta State was being used as a brothel where the five underage girls were rescued from the hands of those who trafficked them.
Happiness Johnson ‘f’ age 13yrs, Esther Godspower ‘f’ age 21yrs, Angel John ‘f’ age 22yrs, Miracle Bishop ‘f’ age 19yrs, and Happiness Isreal ‘f’ 19yrs were among the underage girls rescued when the command received this troubling information, he claimed.
“One Joy ‘f’ surname unknown now at large trafficked the young females from Rivers State, transported them to Patani where they were compelled to take an oath before being brought to Otu-Jeremi and housed by one Edwin Etareri, the stated brothel’s owner,” Edafe revealed.
Mrs Grace Etariri is currently in detention, and 20 suspects were arrested during the operation, including ten additional male suspects and ten female prostitutes, according to the PPRO.
