Omoni, who said the suspects would be taken to court after investigations, added that the rescued two-year-old victim has been reunited with her family.
A source said the suspects drugged the baby, put her in a zipped box and proceeded to a motor park before they ran out of luck.
The Nation gathered that upon interrogation by police, Chinyere confessed that the child was drugged and put in a box.
The baby was brought out of the box at the motor park sweating and crying, it was learnt.
