BENIN—THE Edo State Police Command has paraded a native doctor for allegedly aiding and abetting human trafficking in the state.
He was among the 55 suspects paraded by the Command before journalists yesterday in Benin for various crimes ranging from robbery, murder, cultism and human trafficking to kidnapping.
The suspect, Aisevbo, 47, said his job was to prepare charms for those willing to travel abroad to avoid mishap on their ways and be successful abroad.
He said: “As for the two girls, it was one Ogbevoen that brought them for me to assist them.
“He said they were travelling to Burkina Faso. I told him that one of them has problem and she should not be allowed to embark on the journey.”
