He said the victims, between the ages of 13 and 17 years, were rescued during a stop and search operation by his men.
He said, ”The victims were rescued by our men around 2am on Tuesday along Akpakpava Road in Benin City. Three suspects, including two drivers conveying the victims to their destinations were arrested during the operation and handed over to the Department of State Services for further investigations.
“Our preliminary investigations revealed that the victims were being moved from the South East, enroute Edo State, to the South West of the country.”
Oboh said in another operation, officials of the Edo State Community Vigilante Security Network arrested a man who robs people of their personal belongings while pretending to be insane.
“The man who identified himself as Olatunji was arrested around Baptist Church at Ring Road, Benin City and has been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force. Among the items recovered from the suspects include ATM cards belonging to victims of his criminal acts”, he said.
He said the Edo State Community Vigilante Security Network is working assiduously with other security agencies in the state to secure the state.
