He said: “Initial investigations revealed that the victims were traded to Ghana with a guise to secure employment opportunities without the knowledge or approval of their parents or relatives.

“The suspect, who claimed to be an ordinary laborer, lured them from Ogoja, Cross River State, to work in a restaurant in Ghana.

“Further findings show that the suspect is also trying to rape the victims while staying at a hotel, where they continue to wait for departure.

“The victims have returned home safely and reunited with their families, while efforts are ongoing to track other members from the human trafficking network.”
