Plateau State Police Command on Monday announced that it had
intercepted two trucks conveying 145 children from Bauchi and Jigawa States.
According to a statement by the public relations officer of
the state, Terna Tyopev, the children, aged between four and eight years, “were
to be shared to Plateau, Kaduna and Nasarawa States.
“Our investigation has revealed that these children, who are
all male, were to be taken to places that even coordinators of the movement did
not even know.”“This trend, if not checked, will cause embarrassment to Plateau
State, North-central states and the nation at large,” he added.
He disclosed that the
police were liaising with the Plateau chapter of Jama’atu Nasril Islam and
other critical stakeholders, to establish contact with Bauchi and Jigawa
governments for the return of the children to their parents
The spokesman urged the public to report the presence of
strange children in their environment.
He appealed to members of the public to continue to
cooperate with the force to rid the society of such negative acts.
