The Nigeria Police Force has rescued two Colombian women who were allegedly lured to Nigeria by a human trafficking syndicate and held captive in Lagos.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Aniete Iniedu, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
According to him, the rescue followed intelligence received by the National Central Bureau (NCB)-INTERPOL, Lagos Annex, on August 26, 2026, about the whereabouts of the two victims.
The women were identified as Maria Camila Rodas Ortiz and Yuliet Fernanda Rios Mesa, both citizens of Colombia.
Iniedu said the victims were deceived into travelling to Nigeria, where they were held against their will and had their travel documents seized by suspected Chinese nationals who are currently on the run.
