The suspects, Dickson and Gatuso, confessed that sometime in the month of July 2022, they were contracted by one Jennifer to abduct and send children to an orphanage home in Abuja for the purpose of attracting funds from Non-Governmental Organisations(NGOs).
The two succeeded in sending two boys and a girl to the orphanage, and got N300,000 for their role.
Jennifer and the owner of the suspected illegal orphanage home in Abuja will soon be arrested.
