Police Officer ASP Desmond Apella testified on Tuesday about the rescue of nine children from Ifeoma Abonyi and Emmanuel Onyekwere, who were on trial for conspiracy and child trafficking at the FCT High Court. The children were recovered following a report of a missing 17-month-old. Apella, the investigating police officer, testified as the third prosecution witness (PW3) in the case. He stated that the investigation began in November 2019 after receiving a petition from Thomas Olobo regarding the disappearance of his 17-month-old child. Olobo reported that the defendants, posing as a couple and his neighbors, had asked to take the baby to the market.
