In a disturbing revelation, Madam Success, a well-known hotelier and proprietor of a brothel in Gwagwalada, was apprehended on Friday in connection with the trafficking of an unspecified number of children stolen from local residents. The shocking discovery led to the destruction of her establishments in the Bako area, Angwan Dodo, and Wazobia by a group of hoodlums who swiftly descended on the area upon learning of the news.
Law enforcement authorities in the Gwagwalada area council intervened to protect Madam Success from a potential mob attack, ensuring her safe transfer to an undisclosed location. Having been a longtime resident of Gwagwalada with her husband and children, her arrest has sent shockwaves through the community.
Madam Success allegedly used her brothel and hotel business as a front to orchestrate the abduction of at least 50 children from the Angwan Dodo area of Gwagwalada, employing proxies, agents, and associates in her criminal endeavors.
Reports from capitalpost.ng indicate that the stolen children are being transported to various parts of the country as commodities. It has also been disclosed that Madam Success faced similar charges in Edo state in the past, engaging in the same illicit business.
A plea has been issued to the FCT Police Commissioner and other security agencies to swiftly address the escalating issue of child theft introduced by Madam Success in Gwagwalada. The community, plagued by recent incidents of child theft, anxiously awaits decisive action to protect both children and parents from further victimization.
