Popular Nollywood actor and activist, Stanley Ontop, has called out the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, for allegedly trafficking children from Delta State to Kano.

The actor made the allegation in a series of posts shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday.

According to him, some NAPTIP officials invaded Happy Home orphanage homes in Asaba on Sunday, 15th of June 2025, “with a white Hummer bus at about 2pm and went away with grown-up children between the ages of 13 – 17 without any official documentation”.

“A group of notorious NAPTIP officials from Kano invaded an orphanage here in Asaba and carted away 8 children. The government, the Women’s Affairs, the SSAs, and the first lady have not said anything about it. It’s only we the activists for Delta State.

“They pack 8 children and take them to the north, change their names to Muslim names, force them to go to the mosque and read the Qua-ran. If they decline, they will flog them like an illegal refugee and nothing has happened? Really? Omg”.

Also speaking in a viral video on social media, the Chairman of the Happy Home orphanage, Christopher Nwokoye, who was not at home when the incident occurred, explained, “When I checked the small paper that was left behind by NAPTIP officials, I saw NAPTIP official Oka. I now rushed to D division, their DCO did not send any men from their station to come to this orphanage home.

“Then on Monday morning I went to NAPTIP office at the Federal Secretariat in Oka, and I met their head of duties, and after I showed him the note I came with, he told me that it’s not from them, but it’s from Kano”. (sic)
