As part of efforts to rid the state of child traffickers, the Taraba State Command of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, says it intercepted a suspected human trafficker and rescued 10 minors in Jalingo.
The State Commandant, Mr Bako Amos, disclosed this in a statement issued to Journalists weekend, adding that the arrest followed actionable intelligence received by the agency.
He said the interception was carried out at about 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 30, 2026, at Kurmi Park in Jalingo, in collaboration with the Special Adviser to the governor of Taraba State on Human Trafficking, Mrs Sarah Ishaya.
According to Amos, the suspect was apprehended while making preparations to traffic the 10 children to an unknown destination.
Amos said both the victims and the suspect are currently in NAPTIP’s custody, while investigations are ongoing to unearth the circumstances surrounding the trafficking attempt.
