A couple was among some suspected human traffickers arrested in Delta State for trafficking pregnant girls and babies. 

The police said that Mrs. Nkiru Asouza and her husband, Chidiebele Udeagbala were arrested before operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) stormed their hideouts in Akwa-Ibom State and arrested others.
Those arrested are Ekaete Sunday, Etieno Mary Bassey, Stella John and Esther Ezekiel. The suspects led police to Onitsha, Anambra State where another prime suspect, Mary Bassey Okon was arrested.
The two pregnant girls, Nancy Atume and Chidimma Johnson, both 18 and two trafficked babies were rescued unhurt from the Akwa-Ibom syndicate.
Four babies were rescued in Onitsha hideouts.
