A tragic incident has been reported in Umuoji community, Anambra State, where a 50-year-old man, identified as Ejike Basil Anoliefo, allegedly died after being poisoned at a local restaurant.
According to reports circulating alongside a video from the scene, Anoliefo had returned from Lagos to Umuoji to bury his late father.
He was said to have visited the restaurant to eat pork before he suddenly fell ill and later died, with claims that the food may have been poisoned.
Following the incident, the Umuoji community reportedly sealed the restaurant as investigations commenced to determine the cause of death and establish those responsible.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has directed relevant security agencies and regulatory authorities to immediately investigate the allegations of trafficking and sexual exploitation of thirty-five (35) underage children from Ebonyi State in a brothel in the state.
The investigation is to establish the facts, rescue and protect the affected minors, and ensure that all individuals and syndicates involved are identified and prosecuted in accordance with the law, and the facilities sealed for public safety.
A disturbing video currently circulating on social media platforms has revealed that the thirty-five underage children from Ebonyi State, reportedly missing since October 2025, were found in a brothel in Aguleri, being used as sex workers.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Thursday, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor, said the state abhors, condemns and will not tolerate any form of child trafficking, sexual exploitation or abuse of minors under any circumstance.
According to him, the alleged acts constitute a serious violation of human dignity, moral decency and the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, particularly the Child Rights Act, which has been implemented in the state, and the Criminal Code, among other relevant laws.
“The Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act (TIPPEA) criminalises all forms of child trafficking, sexual exploitation and forced prostitution. In contrast, the Child Rights Act and corresponding child rights laws adopted by states, including Anambra, expressly prohibit the use of children for sexual activities, forced labour or any form of exploitation. These laws recognise the child’s rights to dignity, protection, survival and development, and they prescribe severe penalties for offenders, which the state will not hesitate to invoke,” the Commissioner said.
