Dr. Emmanuel Ugwumba has been arrested by Enugu State Police for his alleged involvement in child trafficking and forgery. The arrest followed an investigation by the Anti-Kidnapping Tactical Squad, which linked Ugwumba to a child trafficking ring after a public notice about an abandoned child surfaced.
The notice, endorsed by Ugwumba and published on September 27, 2024, was connected to his role at Chima Hospital in Udenu. During the operation, a pregnant woman and two young children were rescued. Authorities believe Ugwumba conspired with others to traffic at least seven children between 2017 and 2024.
Dr. Ugwumba has been remanded in custody following his court appearance on October 9, 2024.
