Now, we are calling on the Governor and his wife to step in and wipe our tears. We just want to see our children again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed that three of the trafficked children had been rescued in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where they had been sold. They are currently in the custody of NAPTIP.<\/p>\n<p>However, the whereabouts of the remaining six remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe traveled to Port Harcourt and spent four days there, but we were not allowed to see the children. We don\u2019t understand what is happening. The police are not being transparent with us. We strongly believe that once the Governor intervenes, things will change,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson further expressed concerns that while one suspect is currently in Bauchi State Police Command\u2019s custody, the others remain at large.<\/p>\n<p>He urged Governor Bala Mohammed and his wife to take immediate action, as they had done in previous cases, to rescue and reunite them with their children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
