Our correspondent had reported that the police arrested Madam Chichi for allegedly trafficking twins in August 2021.
The 55-year-old, who was arrested alongside two others, was sighted by our correspondent in the custody of police in Owerri, where she was being interrogated.
The police had handed over the two children to the government after medical examinations allegedly showed that she was not their mother.
The police spokesperson, Micheal Abattam, had told our correspondent that the command was working on arresting other suspects involved in the incident.
