Claim
A statement signed by the Tema Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) , Mrs Beatrice Z. Vib-Sanziri, said Nabista had stated that she had brought the victims from Dambai in the northern part of the Volta Region to Kpone for evangelism because they themselves agreed to follow her since they were interested in evangelism.
According to the statement, further investigations led to the interception of seven passports bearing the names of some of the children from the suspect, adding that it was only after the police had found the passports that Nabista confessed to recruiting the children and preparing to traffic them to Kuwait and Jordan.
It said the victims had been relocated to a shelter pending further investigations.
It said after the investigations, efforts would be made to unite the children with their families.
Collaboration
Meanwhile, the Tema Regional Police Command has commended those whose vigilance and prompt action helped the police to arrest the culprits and stressed that it would welcome more of such collaboration between the police and the public in order to tackle all forms of crime, including human trafficking.
Caution
DCOP Vib-Sanziri cautioned parents who willingly gave out their children to people who came promising those children a better future elsewhere to desist from such practices, since most of those children ended up as either domestic or sex slaves in other countries.
