The Anambra police command on Saturday arrested three women suspected to be members of a child stealing syndicate in the state.

While arresting the suspects the police rescued two male kids they had allegedly abducted.

Confirming their arrest yesterday, the State’s Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, said the suspects were intercepted at the Nkpor market/Tarzan junction with two male kids aged two and four.

Speaking further, he said “They could neither give a satisfactory explanation about the children nor where they got them. The case is under investigation after which suspects would be charged to court for prosecution”.

The Commissioner of Police, John B. Abang, has urged parents whose children got missing and fall within the age bracket of the rescued kids, to report at the PPRO’s office at the state command headquarters, Akwa Ibom for proper identification and collection of their children.
