One Hajiya Ladi Dahiru has been arrested by the Jigawa State Police Command for human trafficking in Kazaure local government area of the State.
The command in the course of the arrest, rescued 12 girls, aged between 9 and 13, from Dahiru while she was on her way to transporting them to Kaduna State for trafficking.
Jigawa State Police Commissioner, Usman Abubakar Tilli, while parading the suspect and the rescued girls before newsmen stressed that Police on Safer Highway Patrols, apprehended the 60-year-old Ladi Dahiru of Sada village in Yankwashi local government area of the State.
