Police surgeons who examined girls rescued from a makeshift mosque at Usafi Market on Katwe road in Kampala during a Friday night raid, revealed ten of the girls were pregnant.
“The girls are below 18 years,” said a police source in the Child and Family Protection Unit.
The Police said they had also discovered two girls (not among the 10) had given birth days before the raid.
One baby was three days old and the other five days old.
Last week, a team of police and army officers raided the mosque while pursuing a suspect in the murder of Susan Magara leading to the rescue of 112 people including children and women.
The children and women rescued from the mosque are being kept at the Criminal Investigations Directorate in Kibuli as investigations continue with focus on other homes in Ntinda, Kawempe and Kyengera, all Kampala suburbs, where they suspect women and children could be held under similar circumstances.
