The officers of the Lagos Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have rescued four underage girls from a Motel located at Totomu village, around Lagos and Ogun border.
The Corps Commander, Usman Alfadarai, who made this known on Monday, said the motel was raided at about 11.53 a.m. on Friday, August 11, 2023.
Alfadarai stated that the Corps’ Anti-Himan Trafficking Unit acted on credible intelligence and sustained surveillance to raid the motel.
He said the motel was discovered to be engaging in the exploitation of underage girls for prostitution and child labour for rewards.

Alfaradai said on the same date, the Corps’ Patrol Team deployed to watch over the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipelines effectively thwarted an attempted act of vandalism at Idimu, Lagos.
