Police in Kotido district have rescued two juveniles suspected to have been trafficked out of the region.

Calisto Longole, Kotido district Community Liason says the juveniles aged 12 and Scovia Lomokol aged 13 are both residents of Kokulonyo, in Iriiri sub county Napak district.

Longole has intimated that the two girls were reportedly lured from their homes by a woman only identified as Esther who had promised them well-paying Jobs and education sponsorship in Soroti city.

However, on reaching Soroti, the juveniles were left stranded after the woman failed to pick them up prompting the intervention of a good Samaritan who took them to Soroti CPS.

police authorities in Soroti in their attempt to return the children to their home district instead put them on the Kotido bound Gateway bus that handed them over to Kotido CPS.

Longole adds that the Child and Family Protection Unit is now in the process of transporting the children to Napak CPS so that they are reunited with their parents.
