Formal Senator and human rights activist Shehu Sani has urged the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, to take decisive action against a reported child trafficking syndicate allegedly operating in the state. The statement was made via his official Twitter/X account.
Sani highlighted that most children reported stolen or missing from Northern states were reportedly found in Anambra State, raising concerns about the existence of a criminal network involved in cross-regional child trafficking. He called on the state government to investigate, dismantle, and prosecute the syndicate to protect vulnerable children and ensure justice.
Child trafficking remains a serious concern in Nigeria, disproportionately affecting vulnerable minors across the Northern and Southeastern regions. Experts note that such syndicates exploit gaps in law enforcement, poor community awareness, and weak inter-state coordination. Sani’s call reflects a broader demand for stronger intergovernmental collaboration, stricter law enforcement, and proactive measures to prevent the exploitation of children.
The post also highlights the importance of accountability from state authorities in regions identified as hotspots for trafficking. Swift action can dismantle criminal networks, deter future crimes, and restore public confidence in government interventions.
Shehu Sani’s appeal underscores the urgent need for coordinated action against child trafficking in Nigeria. Ensuring the safety and welfare of children requires state-level vigilance, inter-agency cooperation, and community involvement. Failure to act risks perpetuating a cycle of exploitation and impunity, emphasizing the critical role of governance and law enforcement in protecting minors.
