Nicole, 14, spent the night at Kawempe Police Station to prevent her from fleeing.
"Kawempe Police station has a shelter for victims of torture, kidnap and trafficking. This is where she slept after exhibiting signs of escaping from her mother; it should be noted that the girl also blames herself for what happened to her," Owoyesigyire said.
Police had earlier said that she had refused to cooperate with them to provide information that would help in arresting the suspects.
She was seen at the police station with her mother in videos shared on social media Tuesday morning.
Some videos shared on social media indicate that Queen and Nicole had been friends for a while and that’s how she met her (Queen’s) boyfriend.
