The Enugu State Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old man, Raymond Wonna, for alleged involvement in transnational human trafficking and rescued two victims.
The victims, identified as Miracle Ogar (18) and Angela Kingsley (16), are both from Cross River State, the command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, revealed in a statement on Thursday.
According to the police spokesperson, the victims were intercepted on July 30, 2025, while being trafficked to Ghana under the guise of securing job opportunities.
Ndukwe said, “They were intercepted at about 2 pm by operatives of the command’s crack tactical squad during a routine patrol along the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway, Enugu.”
Ndukwe added, “Further findings indicate that the suspect also attempted to rape the victims while lodging them in a hotel, where they were kept pending departure.”
The victims, the statement noted, have been reunited with their families, and efforts are ongoing to track down other members of the trafficking network.
