The Police Command in Ebonyi has arrested Ngozi Blessing Abia, also known as Mercy Francis, who specialized in abducting and selling children. She operated in Lagos, Ebonyi, Anambra, and Edo. The investigation began in January 2024 after Nkwuda Francis reported that his two children were kidnapped by a woman posing as a National Youth Service Corps member. DSP Joshua Ukandu stated that the children, aged 3 and 7, were later found in Anambra, where Abia had sold them. The police have rescued at least six children from her.
