The 28-year-old suspect was arrested at Ughelli area of the state after allegedly luring a 15-year-old girl, one Ejiro Etu, out of the country.

Mother of the victim had informed the police that, on January 5, her daughter was taken away to an unknown place by the suspect, adding that her whereabouts had remained unknown.

Parading the suspect after her arrest, Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Muhammad Mustafa, said she would be charged to court after investigation.
