Kiyo: Six expectant
teenage girls kept in a guardian’s home in Enugu were rescued after a raid on
the private residence by security operatives.
Enugu
police spokesman Ebere Amaraizu said yesterday that the anti-kidnap unit of the
police, acting on a tip-off raided No 7, Anyansi Lane, Ogui Enugu, where they
rescued the teenagers.
The
girls, who are said to be 17 years old, gave their names as Chioma Eze,
Amarachi Okoro, Gloria Okoye, Uzoamaka Lawrence, Nneji Faith and Akpan Juliana.
Amaraizu
told reporters that the teenagers were smuggled out of their guardians’ home
and kept in a hideout where they were expected to give birth before the babies
sold to bidders.
Three
persons are said to be behind the business.
Those
in custody are Lami Lasu, Isha Musa and Anthony Chigbo, an indigene of Enugu
State.
Amaraizu
said investigations into the incident were going.
