A 4-man child trafficking syndicate allegedly led by a missionary pastor were paraded before newsmen in Bayelsa state today by officials of the state's Department of State Security Service after 36 children (12 boys, 24 girls) drawn from different parts of the country were found illegally in their custody. The children are mostly from Kaduna, Kebbi and Zamfara states.

They were allegedly taken from their parents in the guise of providing them with better living conditions and education but were turned into domestic workers. They were transported to states like Rivers, Enugu, Edo and Lagos where they serve as housemaids.

The leader of the syndicate who claims to be a missionary pastor denied using the children as domestic workers. He said he collects the children from their parents and hands them over to people who have "christian hearts" and will send them to school.

The only female arrested, Tonbra Alazigha, said she ran a charity organization where she caters for the needs of the children and allegedly sends them to school. Her claim was however refuted by one of the rescued children who said she worked at a farm in Bayelsa

"She tell me say she will put me in school. She register me but I use to go farm. I use to sell water for her. The person that brought me don't know about it" she said

One of the rescued boys confirmed that they worked in farms and sold water for the lady. The 36 children are now in the custody of the Bayelsa state DSS and will be handed over to officials of NAPTIP for further investigations.

36 Children? released by 36 parents?what is going on in Nigeria?sometimes the stories i read about things back home, just keeps leaving me baffled and stunned.

I am not even mad at the Missionary, but actually at the parents.

Poverty is not good, but for some strange reasons, the poor seems to be the most fertile and are usually having kids they cannot take care of, and in that process, try to dispose them off like commodities.

This is tantamount to selling your own kids for ritualism purposes.

I am saddened by this news. These kids are innocent,and gladly followed this man because of the trust for the words of their parents. The parents should be arrested,tried and sentenced to jail, and the kids rehabilitated by the Government.

I think it is high time, Nigeria adopts the Chinese way of life. One kid per family. If a family has one child, i don't think they will be put out there like this.

Trafficking/kidnapping in the South ... Boko haram in the North .... Biafra in the east ...

God Help this country called NAIJA

No igbo or Yoruba names...lol.
Dz thread won't be fun, mtcheeeeeeeew.

Wat can i say. It's just terrible at the level of poverty in the country nowadays anything is possible.

Nigerians and SLAVE TRADE!
Tufiakwa!!!!!

bling bling pastors everywhere you go

This is so pathetic, poor people should be educated on family planning instead of giving birth to children they can't cater for . As for the traffickers......

ok

Hmmmm.... These are the people even spoiling the word "PASTOR"

the ministry is moving to the permanent site.

Family planning needs to be inculcated into our system in dis country... Btw, this kid looks like a young davido

This one na serious matter oooo

I swear, we the citizen of this country are the evils one's denying this country of whatever greatness it's in stock.. 36 children for christ sake.

Cant we be our brother's keeper without any montery value attached to it.

One man downfall is always an opportunity to make money from in this country...

Look at their eyes, those children were never fed well.. Chai...

Until the law is seen to take its toll on criminals, upcoming criminals wont be deterred. Often times, its onoy when they are arrested that the press is called, we should learn to publicise their prosecution and hopefuly eventual conviction.

This is serious oohh

Too bad...
