The Plateau State Police Command smashed a three-man syndicate suspected to be specialists in child trafficking.
The suspects were nabbed on Sunday in Jenta Adamu, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State at about 8:25pm.
The suspected young kidnappers were driving in a red Toyota car, with registration number: Plateau 940 RYM, in Jenta Adamu suburb of the state capital, pretending to be looking for the direction to Rockview Hotel.
The Eagle Online gathered that an alarm was raised when one of the syndicate members came out of the car and approached a nine-year-old girl to show them where the hotel is situated.
It was learnt that the said girl almost entered the car when her aunt saw her and raised the alarm.
The Eagle Online gathered that the incident happened in front of Jenta Adamu Police Post.
Youths in the area came out in their numbers, demanding the police to release the suspects to them so they could be killed.
It was also gathered that pressure and tension was all over the place when the officers on duty pleaded that the culprit should be transfered to ‘A’ Division for further interrogation.
It would recall that three ladies, who are resident of the area, two weeks ago died in a sex marathon with an unknown Alhaji, who came to the area and paid N5,000 each to them for part time sex.
The said Alhaji allegedly disappeared inside the room of the ladies.
The memory, which still remains fresh in the minds of people, was said to have further angered the youths.
The Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abu Emmanuel, has promised the people of the state that the police was working hard to continuously ensure their safety.
