According to Edafe, the victim stated further that the suspect deceived her parents into following her down to Delta State from Abia State to be a salesgirl in a bar with a salary of N30,000 monthly.<\/p>\n

Edafe added that the victim and two other young girls followed the suspect down to a town, later understood to be Ughelli, but on getting to their final destination, they saw other teenagers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were naked and were informed that it was prostitution they were brought for which they declined, and as a result, they were immediately thrown out of the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the information, a combined team of surveillance squad stormed the hotel, \u2018Big Dafe Hotel\u2019 by Ughelli\/Patani Road and arrested one Chioma Edafe, 36, who runs the hotel, and 35 others, among whom 23 are all teenagers,\u201d he further disclosed.<\/p>\n
