Father Zeferino Passagem tells the Angolan news agency ANGOP that the traffickers are preyed on the poor and removing their vital and sexual organs.

A public official tells the agency two women disappeared in the mission of Sao Bento in the province last December.

Police say they’re unable to find accurate information on the matter.

The official says some women farmers in the province have stopped going to their farms for fear of their safety.
