Two suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the trafficking of a 16-year-old girl, Zainab Ojelade, from Ogun State to Niger Republic en route to Libya.
Zainab, who absconded from home on September 14, 2025 was allegedly lured by Latifat Eleyele of Ajibode Area, Sango-Ota, to meet Eleyele’s husband in Libya.
Eleyele was promptly arrested and reportedly confirmed that Zainab’s boyfriend, Kehinde Amos, also known as Akaka, brought the teenager to her for assistance to travel abroad in search of greener pastures.
Zainab was subsequently sent to a link man in Sokoto State for onward movement to Libya.
According to security analyst, Zagazola Makama, Amos was later arrested, and preliminary investigations are ongoing.
The suspects are set to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID) upon conclusion of investigations.
