Abuja Pastor Arrested in Child Trafficking Scandal: A Sting Operation Unfolds

The FCT Police Command has arrested Reverend Pastor Prince Bassey Ajah, the General Overseer (Daddy G.O.) of "Wells of Salvation" Church in Abuja, over alleged child trafficking. Two other suspected accomplices, Nancy Atoo and Deaconess Vera Duru, were also arrested in connection with the scandal.

On May 24, 2025, a distress call was received by the Gwagwalada Area Command from officials of Wazobia Motor Park, Gwagwalada, reporting a male exhibiting suspicious behavior while attempting to travel with a young child. A Police Emergency Response Team was immediately dispatched to the scene, where one Israel Ajah was arrested while attempting to board a vehicle to Owerri, Imo State, with a 7-year-old boy in his custody.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the child was handed over to the suspect by his elder brother, Reverend Pastor Prince Bassey Ajah. Further investigation revealed that both children were being trafficked to Owerri for sale, with the suspects confessing that the 7-year-old boy, Muktar Hassan, was to be sold for ₦1.2 million through arrangements facilitated by Deaconess Vera Duru.

A search conducted at the residence of Nancy Atoo led to the rescue of another victim, a 4-year-old girl identified only as "Mercy". Muktar Hassan has since been reunited with his family, while efforts are underway to trace the biological family of the 4-year-old girl.

The suspects are currently in police custody, facing charges related to child trafficking. Will this incident lead to increased scrutiny of religious leaders and their involvement in illicit activities?
