It was gathered that the police, acting on a tip-off stormed the “factory” that is located at No 7 Anyansi Lane, Ogui Enugu where they recovered six pregnant young girls of about seventeen years.
The Enugu state police spokesman, DSP, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the arrest to DailyPost gave the names of the pregnant girls as Chioma Eze, Amarachi Okoro, Gloria Okoye, Uzoamaka Lawrence, Nneji Faith and Akpan Juliana.
