A STAFF member of Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital Sokoto (UDUTH) and four others have been arrested by the Department of State Security (DSS) over alleged sale of three children abducted from Zuru in Kebbi State.
Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu handed over the three children to their parents on Sunday in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.
The governor named the suspects as Comfort Nwankwo of UDUTH, Dorothy Okonkwo, Uchenna Benedict, Helen Samuel and one Moses who reportedly lives in Zuru.
He said the three children, including a set of twins, were sold in Anambra State in connivance with Nwankwo and Moses.
