Oyo Police Expose Child Trafficking Ring | Nigeria News

A chilling child trafficking ring in Oyo State has been exposed after police uncovered a network stealing infants as young as two, holding pregnant women captive, and selling newborns—all allegedly for ritualistic purposes. The investigation began with a cyberbullying petition but spiraled into a horrifying discovery when detectives traced a missing three-year-old to a festival. Suspects confessed to operating across state lines, including Delta, where children were rescued. Six victims died in custody, and authorities are now seeking public help to identify more missing kids. Police arrested key figures, including an Alfa and herbalist, who admitted to using child bodies in rituals. With 17 children saved and the operation still unfolding, officials urge parents to come forward—and warn the public to be wary of anyone offering spiritual services that might separate children from their families.
