Security Officials Nab Female Child Traffickers

Two Female Child traffickers were on Tuesday, July 5  arrested by the Security oficials attached to the Quick Intervention Squad in Calabar, Cross River State.

The suspects who are alleged to be part of a child-trafficking syndicate were arrested at Eta-Agbor Road where they were transacting the sale of an unidentified, two-year old boy for N600, 000, according to Commander of the QIS, Capt. Mohammed Tanko.

Tanko said: “The arrested suspects also attempted to bribe the QIS officials with N500,000 when they were rounded up.”

The suspects, who were 30-year-old trader from the Etinan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State and a 33-year-old Health Record Officer at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital from Akpabuyo LGA, admitted to the crime.

The trader said her husband worked with a church in Abuja, while the health record officer disclosed that her husband was an official of the Federal Road Safety Corps in Abuja. Both of them said they were married with children.

The suspect from Akpabuyo, who served as a middleman between the seller and the buyer, said she was an employee of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.

She said: “I got the child from Akpabuyo. My gain from the transaction was N20, 000.”

According to her, the buyer said she needed a child to adopt, but didn’t want to go through the proper process because she feared that one day the child would be collected by the government.

The suspect from Etinan, who was the buyer, said she had already paid the said sum.

The state Security Adviser, Mr. Rekpene Bassey said, “Investigation is ongoing to bring their accomplices to book. The suspects will be handed over to the police.”

Bassey who praised the sources who provided information that led to the arrest of the women also urged members of the public to do same while stating that the state would continue to uphold a zero tolerance policy to all forms of crime.

419: Fake Sign Language Interpreter At Mandela’s Memorial

South Africa’s deaf community yesteray, Wednesday accused the sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial of being a fake, who had merely flapped his arms around during speeches.

DeafSA, South Africa’s leading deaf association, condemned the presence of the unknown man at the memorial to Mandela attended by President Jacob Zuma and scores of world leaders including US President Barack Obama.

While dignitaries were addressing the crowd in the 95,000-seat Soccer City stadium, the young suited man with an official security pass round his neck produced a series of hand signals that experts said meant absolutely nothing.

“He’s a complete fraud,” said Cara Loening, director of Sign Language Education and Development in Cape Town. “He wasn’t even doing anything, There was not one sign there. Nothing. He was literally flapping his arms around.”

The interpreter, who translated US President Barack Obama’s speech, looked as if he was “trying to swat a few flies away from his face and his head”. (Lolz)

“The deaf community in South Africa are completely outraged and nobody knows who he is,” added Loening. “We can’t find a name or anything. The organisations who have accredited interpreters do not know him at all.”
