Chikwelu, a native of Nimo in Anambra State, was tracked and arrested in Abuja in a joint operation with the State CID and later transferred to Owerri for prosecution.
Authorities confirmed that baby Isaiah is safe and efforts are underway to reunite him with his parents while pursuing other members of the network still at large.
In a related operation on July 16, 2025, police apprehended 29-year-old Precious Okoh from Enugu State after she attempted to sell a nine-year-old girl in Owerri. Okoh confessed that the child, Promise Christopher, had been stolen from Igbogene in Bayelsa State. Operatives traced the victim’s parents and successfully reunited her with her family.
The Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Aboki Danjuma, commended his operatives for their swift action and professionalism. He reaffirmed the command’s commitment to stamping out child trafficking, urging residents to remain vigilant and provide useful information to safeguard children and other vulnerable persons.
