state.
The rescued girls aged between 16- 21 are in different
stages of pregnancy.
Narrating how the police discovered the home, CP Okoye said “This
is the result of community policing. The home was discovered through
information we received and our officers came to investigate but the first time
they did not get anything incriminating but we kept working and our diligence
paid off when the police men stormed the area again last week and saw five
girls in different stages of pregnancy. The police men did not relent in their
investigation as they stayed put in the apartment. They later discovered that the woman (Mrs.
Chigozie) hid three of the girls in wardrobe in her room. The police noticed a
human head and opened the wardrobe and three pregnant girls were seen hiding
inside. One of them slump due to suffocation and she was rush to the hospital
where she was revived. Eight of them are in our custody including thr woman and
a man who assist her in the home”
