A 75-year-old woman, Caroline Mbonu, has been arrested by the police for allegedly stealing babies at locations in Anambra State.
Police spokesman Haruna Mohammed, who disclosed this yesterday in a statement, said the suspect was apprehended with a 50-year-old woman, Ifeyinwa Ezename.
He said the stolen children have been recovered and reunited with their parents.
