The Ondo state police command has confirmed the arrest of 10 nationals of the Republic of Benin over human trafficking business in the state. The Ondo state commissioner of police, Mr Lawal Adebowale, made the development known to journalist on Sunday.

According to Adebowale, the suspect were Atouh Joel, Mohamed Amidou, Saibou Akateliwe, Abdul Jahao, and Ndah Severin.

Others include Kumpori Ruth, Kumpori Martin, Tatiana Dianne, Martias Sossa and Ndapola Oba Giov.

The CP said, “On July 31, 2025, at about 20.30 pm, operatives of the command apprehended 10 foreign nationals at their respective residences along Oda Road, Akure. These individuals were discovered to have illegally smuggled themselves into Nigeria from the Republic of Benin. Some of them had expired passports, while others had no valid travel documents whatsoever.

“Investigations revealed that these suspects criminally conspired to bring one Nzaou Yelica Christ-Olse (male, 29 years, Congolese) into Nigeria without his consent. The victim was deceived under the pretence of receiving assistance to start an online business.”

He was later abandoned by the group upon arrival.”

The case has since been transferred to the relevant departments, including the Nigeria Immigration Service and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons for further investigation and prosecution.

“The victim is safe, in the custody of the authorities, and receiving appropriate support,” Adebowale stressed.

He also urged the people of Ondo state to remain vigilant while also assisting law enforcement agencies with relevant information that could assist them in the fight against crimes and criminality in the state.

“The command will continue to count on the support, vigilance, and credible information from the good people of Ondo State. We reaffirm our resolve to provide a safe and secure environment for all residents through lawful, ethical, and responsive policing.”
