Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
The Kano State Command of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) has arrested a woman suspected of stealing children in the Sharada area of Gwale Local Government.
The Vigilante Commander, Shehu Rabi’u, explained that the woman was said to be trading children for the sum of N1 million for males and N800,000 for females.
He said his operatives got wind of the woman’s activities when she tried to deceive a mother of four, two boys and two girls, that she would take them to a house where they would be given money and foodstuff.
He further said, “After a strenuous exercise, we apprehended the woman. She and the children have been handed over to the police.

It could be recalled that the police command in the state recently busted a child trafficking syndicate and rescued nine children who were later reunited with their parents.
The children were said to have been taken to the Southern part of the country where their names and religion were changed.
