The teenagers reportedly left their different homes in January this year.
They were first taken to Lagos, where they were being moved to Ghana, but were intercepted by immigration officers on the border patrol.
Chairman of Ikwo Development Union, Lagos branch, Imeba Igwe got wind of the development and rescued them.
The girls were, however, handed over to the Chairman of Ikwo local government area, Barr.Sunday Nwankwo, on Wednesday in his office at the local government headquarters.
He commended Igwe for accepting to be a rescue mechanism to the girls.
Nwankwo enjoined parents to be monitoring their children closely to checkmate ugly incidents in their children.
He promised to take the responsibilities of enrolling the girls in their chosen areas of life.
The rescued girls were handed over to their respective Ward Councillors to take them back to their parents.
