arrested in a home where they were allegedly
being prepared to deliver their babies for sale, by
the Enugu State Police Command.
The Public Relations Officer of the command,
Mr Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement that the
girls were arrested at No. 7, Anyansi Lane, Ogui
in Enugu.
He alleged that the girls, aged between 16 years
and 17 years, had negotiated with people who
would buy their babies after delivery.
Amaraizu confirmed the arrest of three other
persons in connection with the incident, saying
that investigations are in top gear on the
incident.
The police spokesman said the girls were
smuggled out of their guardians' homes.
In a related development, four persons have
been arrested for allegedly stealing a 12-day old
male child from the mother after delivery in an
unnamed maternity home on Ebony Paint road,
Awkunanaw, Enugu.
Amaraizu said the arrest of a couple led to the
arrest of two others allegedly involved in the
incident.
He said the police had recovered the stolen child,
who is in good health, while the suspects were
helping the police in its investigations.
