Police Operatives attached to the Ogidi Area Command in Anambra State have arrested a man while he was trying to escape with a five years old stolen child.

Anambra State police command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga who disclosed this in a press release said the arrest was successful because of credible information by indigenes of the area.

He said the suspect, one Joshua Simeon, male, aged 32 years from Ohaozara in Ebonyi State was arrested on 1st February 2025 by 4 pm at Nkpor Central Park, Idemili North Local Government Area.

He said: “The team also recovered a five-year old girl, Nkemdilim Jacob allegedly taken away by the suspect from her parents, living in Umuota Village Obosi, idemili North Local Government Area.

The suspect had already boarded a commercial vehicle and was en route to an unknown destination when he was arrested.

“Meanwhile, the suspect is in custody and currently undergoing interrogation to ascertain his motives and determine whether this incident is part of a larger child trafficking network.”

Ikenga said efforts are also ongoing to reach out to the parents or relatives of the recovered child for possible reunion.

He added that: “The Command is committed to protecting vulnerable of society, to combat child abduction/trafficking and to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in the State.”

There’s a high chance this guy was planning to use the child for rituals or sell her into trafficking. Thankfully, the people were alert, and the police caught him before he could disappear with the little girl. Someone like this deserves life in jail—there’s no excuse for stealing an innocent child.
