Officers of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have rescued three teenagers from prostitution at the Itamaga area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The girls were rescued last Sunday at about 6am when a patrol team noticed their suspicious movements within the area.
Upon questioning, the girls revealed that they were fleeing the custody of a mistress who brought them from Akwa Ibom to Lagos under the guise of employment.
In a statement by the Lagos Police Command Public Relations Office (PRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin; he said that preliminary investigation revealed that the victims, Saviour; aged 14, Bright; aged 13 and Deborah; aged 12 (surnames withheld) upon reaching Lagos were locked by their mistress (still at large) in a hotel and starved for days as a means to force them into accepting prostitution. Contact has been established with the victims’ families.
The victims have since been transferred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Command for further investigation.
