FCT Police Arrest Two Ex-Convicts Over Alleged Child Trafficking, Rescue 4-Year-Old in Kuje
The FCT Police Command says it has arrested two women, Rose Daniel and Blessing John, over the alleged abduction and trafficking of a four-year-old girl in Kuje, Abuja. Police spokesperson Josephine Adeh said the suspects were arrested on August 27, 2026, after a community member alerted officers to their alleged attempt to flee with the child, Ummi Mariam Abdullah. The girl was rescued and has been reunited with her family. Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects were previously arrested, arraigned and convicted over a similar offence in December 2025. Police allege that after their release, they trafficked four children to different parts of the country, including two children allegedly sold to an accomplice in Port Harcourt for ₦1.5 million each. The suspects remain in custody as investigations continue and will be charged to court, police said. Parents and guardians were urged to remain vigilant about their children’s safety and report suspicious activity promptly.
