Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Police said Saturday 14 teenage girls had been rescued from a suspected human trafficker at a guest house in Muyenga, Makindye Division, Kampala.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The 14 girls, only aged between 14 and 19- were allegedly being trafficked by Ms Dorothy Ndagire, 27, a resident of Kawala Central Zone in Rubaga Division through her Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) called \u2018Maya project Uganda chapter\u2019 with partners allegedly based in London,\u2019\u2019 Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson, Asp Luke Owoyesigyire said.<\/p>\n

He said Ms Ndagire who’s in police custody has \u2018\u2018since been charged with trafficking in persons.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Police told Daily Monitor that investigations are underway with intent to apprehend a potential inter-state human trafficking racket in the country.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018While Police has already established that the NGO is NOT registered with the NGO board, further investigations are ongoing to ascertain the group behind this vice and their intention,\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Police further informed that the \u2018\u2018rescued children are currently staying with a professional children\u2019s home as police intensifies efforts to trace for their parents.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018Police calls upon parents who could have willingly or unwillingly given their children to the said Ndagire-to follow up with Kabalagala Police,\u2019\u2019 he urged.<\/p>\n
