According to Odutola, the arrest came as a result of a complaint filed by the mother of one of the victims, who claimed that her daughter had been transported to Libya without her consent.

“On March 2, 2025, at approximately 6:40 p.m., Kehinde Somorin visited the police station to report a disturbing incident. She stated that just 40 minutes earlier, at 6:00 p.m., she received alarming information from her neighbour, Latifat, who informed her that 28-year-old Opeyemi Adetoro had taken Somorin’s 17-year-old daughter, Ifeoluwa, to Libya without her consent.”

Odutola stated that during interrogation, the suspect admitted to transporting the children from Ogun State to Akure, Ondo State, from where they boarded a bus to Sokoto State, where an agent was waiting to smuggle them into Libya.

“Upon receiving the report, the case was immediately referred to the surveillance team for further investigation. Interrogation revealed that on March 1, 2025, Opeyemi Adetoro took three children — 17-year-old Somorin Ifeoluwa, 16-year-old Ameerah Bamgboye, and another girl identified only as Okikiola — from Ogun State to Akure, Ondo State. From there, they boarded another vehicle headed to Sokoto State, where an agent was waiting to smuggle them into Libya.”

Odutola further revealed that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
