The children, who were allegedly stolen from Enugwu Aguleri in the Anambra East Local Government Area of the state, were rescued in Nkpor in the Idemili Local Government Area of the state.
Handing over the children to their parents at the command’s headquarters in Amawbia yesterday, the police warned parents to be aware of the whereabouts of their children. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident.
