A Nigerian man, Adebisi Muideen, has been arrested by the Osun State Police command for allegedly drugging young girls and trafficking them to Libya.
A statement issued by the Command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola on Tuesday morning revealed that the suspect had successfully moved the four girls, to be trafficked to Tripoli in Libya, to Kano from Ile-Ile, Osun state before he was caught. According to the statement, the suspect invited the young girls to a birthday party, served them food and laced their drinks with sleeping pills. “After taking the food and drinks, the girls slept off and later woke up in Kano state en route to Tripoli, capital of Libya. However, three of the girls escaped miraculously in Kano and called their parents who reported the matter to police. “The three of the girls have been reunited with their families but the whereabouts of the fourth girl was still not known presently. The suspect said the girls willingly accepted to go to Libya to work, adding that his brother who resides in Tripoli instructed him to get girls for him and send the girls to one man in Kano who will take them to Libya from Kano. When we got to the man’s house in Kano, we met so many girls that were being processed for the journey to Libya,” he added.
