The command said in a statement obtained Friday morning that on 12th November, 2025, the operatives of the Command attached to the State Intelligence Department in Yola, acted on information that led to the arrest of a 40-year old Hamza Hammantukur Isa, a resident of Bauchi Street in Jimeta, Yola North Local Government Area.
“The suspect specializes in trafficking young girls from Adamawa State to the Republic of Ghana for sexual exploitation using false promise of well-paying jobs,” the command said in its statement signed by its image maker, SP Suleiman Nguroje
Nguroje disclosed that two female victims of about 18 and 19 years respectively were rescued unhurt.
“Preliminary investigation so far revealed that the suspect has been engaging in the act since 2023, during which he confessed to having trafficked 10 young girls in collaboration with two female accomplices now at large to the Republic of Ghana,” Nguroje added.
He assured that efforts are on top gear to trace and arrest the collaborators for discreet investigation, prosecution and possible rescue of trafficked victims.
