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.
