A man has been arrested in Akwa Ibom while allegedly negotiating the sale of his two daughters.
Spokesman of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the state, Ukeme Umana, in a statement yesterday, said Elisha Effiong, 40, was apprehended as he attempted to sell his two daughters for N700,000.

The girls are aged four and six years.
“The private security guard notified the NSCDC and immediately the State Commandant, Abidemi Majekodunmi detailed personnel of the anti-human trafficking unit of the corps to swing into action.
