An immigration officer who saw the woman raised an alarm, and when she refused to stop, he blocked her way and created a scene.
Many people, suspecting that the children were being trafficked, gathered around the van. When the woman was not responding to inquiries, they smashed the vehicle.
She was later handed over to the Asokoro Police Division by the Immigration officer.
A police source at the station confirmed the story and pleaded not to be named. He said the woman refused to talk saying she was mistreated when she was stopped and was said to be unhappy about it.
People were still gathered around the station at the time of filing this report. But the police were pleading with them to go home, saying investigation is already on.
