Sh*cking Confession: 11-Year-Old Girl Admits To Aiding Mother In Drug Trafficking — Delta Police Release Video

The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, has released a video showing the 11-year-old girl recently arrested—and later granted bail with a N500,000 fee at the Ekpan Police Division—confessing to being involved in the trafficking of hard drugs.

Earlier, LIB reported a story shared by an X user calling for justice after the young girl was detained alongside suspected drug traffickers while riding in a tricycle in the Ekpan area on Thursday, July 24. [Read more here.]

The incident sparked widespread outrage, with many condemning the police for detaining a minor. In response, the Delta Police Command invited the girl and her family to their station for a proper investigation and promised a refund if warranted.

On Friday afternoon, Edafe released a video in which the girl admitted her involvement. Her guardian—identified as the one who recruited her to carry the drugs—was also questioned. The woman admitted to purchasing the hard drugs for N100,000 and instructing the girl to collect them from her supplier.

According to the police, the child was likely used as a decoy to avoid suspicion and bypass routine security checks. However, on July 24, officers stopped the tricycle she was in, searched her bag, and discovered the illegal substances.
