During a major raid, officers rescued 83 adults and one child from a house in the Orogun area, where they had allegedly been held for some time.
Early investigations reveal the victims, believed to be from the Democratic Republic of Congo, were brought to Nigeria with false promises of job opportunities.
It’s also been reported that the traffickers demanded large sums of money, reportedly paid in dollars, from the victims’ families as part of the scheme.
The rescued individuals are now being kept at the Police Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, while authorities continue to investigate and gather more information about the incident.
