The little girl renamed Chiamaka Favor for protection was rescued by NAPTIP’s Abia State Command on May 8, 2025.
According to a statement by the agency on Friday, May 9, the suspected trafficker was initially arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abia and later handed over to NAPTIP.
The suspect is believed to have collaborated with three different trafficking rings in Abuja and allegedly sold the child for N100,000.
NAPTIP has launched an investigation and is appealing to the public to help locate the child’s real parents or relatives.
“Investigations are ongoing. NAPTIP is calling on the biological parents or any relatives of the child to urgently contact the Agency,” the statement said.
