The Anambra State Police Command, said on Tuesday that it had rescued four pregnant girls from a baby factory in the state.
This was made known by Haruna Mohammed, the command’s Public Relations Officer.

He said, “It would be recalled that there was a report at the Area Command Headquarters, Nnewi, that a four-year-old child of St Joseph’s School, Otolo Nnewi, was returning home from school in the company of his siblings when two men on a motorcycle grabbed the child and zoomed off with him.
“The child was rescued by some commercial motorcyclists who pursued and eventually arrested the suspects at Akamili Community, Nnewi.
