The NSCDC State Commandant, Muhammad Dada confirmed this at a news briefing held in Sokoto state.
Mr Dada said the children were sighted by NSCDC personnels at the Sokoto Central market planning to board a vehicle to Illela LGA with the suspect.
The suspect, Abdulfatai Adeyemi, told Radio Nigeria in the state that they were from the South West heading to Niger Republic through the Illela border.
He said he received the minor girls from one Alfa in Lagos State, who asked him to deliver the children to an undisclosed person in Sokoto.
