Chairman of the traditional council of chiefs Plateau state, Da Jacob Gyang Buba has lamented over the reports of child trafficking in the state, specifically Riyom Local government council.

Da Buba said this during the annual service of the Berom nation titled “Wusal Berom”, held at Kuru in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Da Buna was quoted as saying, “I have been informed about what parents are doing, particularly in Riyom Local Government Area – that parents sell their children to make a living. We will not tolerate this and any man who indulges in this will be arrested and prosecuted.
“It is the responsibility of men to take care of their families and we will not accept the act of giving out children to people that their identity is not known for proceed due to hardship“.

The monarch enjoined parents to work hard and be sole responsible for their wards.
